Comments

Znaki mennicze KHN istnieją, ponieważ matryce były produkowane zarówno ze znakami menniczymi KN, jak i H, do użytku w obu mennicach. Każda mennica była zobowiązana do usunięcia znaku menniczego drugiej mennicy przed wybiciem monety, ale nie zawsze było to robione skrupulatnie. Gdy jeden lub drugi znak menniczy nie został w pełni usunięty, pozostawał ślad, tworząc wygląd litery H otoczonej wyraźnymi literami K i N w polu poniżej lwa.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The KHN mint marks exist because the master dies were produced with both the KN and H mint marks for use at either mint. Each mint was required to remove the other's mint mark before striking, but this was not always meticulously done. When one or the other mint mark was not fully removed a trace would remain creating the appearance of an H flanked by clear K and N, in the field below the lion.
