Edge

Zwykłe lub z ryflowaniem, obraz pokazuje oba typy krawędzi. Strugi o gładkich krawędziach są nieco cieńsze.

UWAGA: W przypadku tego typu monet krawędź musi być gładka, ale czasami widoczne są ślady ryflowania. Rant jest śladem poprzedniej monety km# 28, podobnie jak ślady poprzedniej monety na awersie lub rewersie.
Im bardziej widoczne są te ślady, tym więcej warta jest moneta. Monety z idealnym rantem są bardzo rzadkie Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Plain or reeded, the image shows both edge types. Plain-edged planchets are slightly thinner.

NOTE: For this type of coin the edge must be smooth, but sometimes traces of reeding are visible. The reeded edge is a mark of the previous km# 28 coin, just like the traces of the previous coin in the obverse or reverse.
The more these marks are visible the more the coin worths. Coins perfectly reeded are very rare

Mint

R	Rome, Italy (476-date)

Comments

Należy je uznać za monety awaryjne, ponieważ zostały wybite w latach, gdy nikiel był bardzo cenny dla przemysłu wojskowego. Aby zachować nikiel, wykorzystano poprzednie monety 20 centesimos (km# 28) wycofane z obiegu jako metal nieszlachetny do wybicia nowych monet. Z tego powodu wiele monet nosi ślady projektu poprzedniego km# 28. Im bardziej te znaki są wyraźne i dobrze zdefiniowane, tym bardziej ceniona jest moneta.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

These have to be considered as emergency coins, since they were minted in years when nickel was very precious for military industries. To conserve the nickel, were used the previous 20 centesimos coins (km# 28) withdrawn from circulation as base metal to overstrike these new coins. For this reason many coins have signs of the design of the previous km# 28. The more these signs are clear and well defined the more valued is the coin.
