Comments

Uwaga - Istnieje typ 1 [muł] i typ 2 [normalny] monety z 1944 roku.

Typ 2 [normalny] pokazuje gładkie lub słabo widoczne rowki w górach na awersie monety na godzinie 3:00.

Dodatkowo, włosy są mniej szczegółowe. W odmianie z mułem są one bardziej szczegółowe, zwłaszcza wokół litery C.

Silny lub typ 1 [muł] pokazuje silne rowki wzdłuż zbocza góry (wulkanu Mayon). Nazywa się to pionowymi prążkami.

Również tam, gdzie góra dotyka ząbków w typie 1, obejmuje tylko jeden ząbek, w typie 2 obejmuje trzy.

Ponadto muł ma praktycznie prosty bok po prawej stronie - bardziej wypukły na normalnej monecie.

Między górą a literą S [CENTAVOS] w typie 1 jest więcej miejsca. W typie 2 prawie się stykają.

N# 4350

To jest moneta [1907-1921], z której użyto matryc awersu, rewers nie został zmieniony.

W przypadku monet z datą 1945, w 1945 roku wybito 18 120 000 sztuk, a w 1946 roku 6 288 000 sztuk.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Note - There is a Type 1 [mule] and a Type 2 [normal] of the 1944 coin.

Type 2 [normal] shows a plain or a weak showing of the grooves in the mountain on the obverse of the coin at 3:00.

Additionally, the hair is less detailed. It is more detailed, especially around the C letter, in the mule variety.

The strong or Type 1 [mule] shows strong grooves along the mountainside (the Mayon volcano). Called vertical striations.

Also where the mountain touches the denticles in Type 1 it only covers one denticle, in Type 2 it covers three.

Additionally, the mule has a virtually straight side on the right - more of a bump on the normal coin.

There is more space between the mountain and the S [CENTAVOS] in Type 1. Type 2 they almost touch.

N# 4350

That is the coin [1907-1921] from which the obverse dies were used, reverse unaffected.

For the 1945 dated coins, 18,120,000 were minted in 1945, and 6,288,000 were minted in 1946
