The coins from 1937 till 1941 are struck on a thick planchet and weigh 11 g.
The coins from 1942 and 1943 are struck on a thin planchet and weigh 9.4 g.

My digital caliper isn't working properly anymore, I think I have to change the battery. If I find one I let you know the difference in thickness.
