1882

Badanie przykładów z 1882 roku wykazało co najmniej 5 odmian matryc, o czym świadczą różnice w położeniu cyfr w dacie i znakach własnościowych.

Kość 1 - róg obfitości prawie pionowo, fasces wysoko i pochylone, blisko portretu, data szeroko, "2" nisko. Patrz zdjęcie główne artykułu.
Kość 2 - róg obfitości prawie pionowy, fasces niskie i przechylone, daleko od portretu, data szeroka.
Uderzenie 3 - róg obfitości niżej niż "Γ" w "ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ" i przechylony, fasety prawie pionowe, data szeroka, "2" wysoko.
Uderzenie 4 - róg obfitości nisko i przechylony, faseta nisko, blisko litery "N" i przechylona, data skondensowana.

Die 5 - róg obfitości prawie pionowo, fasces nisko, daleko od portretu, data skondensowana.
