Comments

UWAGA (dla KM#208.2):
Prawie wszystkie matryce z lat 1946-1951 wykazują co najmniej słabe ślady niedatowania z 1945 roku. Monety całkowicie pozbawione niedatowania i te z bardzo wyraźnym niedatowaniem są zazwyczaj warte więcej dla zaawansowanych specjalistów. Istnieją odmiany.

Wariant BB z 1945 roku na rewersie ma jedno "B" na wieńcu i drugie na polu poniżej CENTAVOS.

NOTE (for KM#208.2):
Almost all dies from 1946-1951 show at least faint traces of overdating from 1945. Coins with absolutely no underdate, and those with very bold underdate, are generally worth more to advanced specialists. Varieties exist.

BB variant from 1945 on the reverse has one "B" on the wreath and another on field below CENTAVOS.
