Hello,
I returned with the request to create a new position in the Numista Catalog for the 10 kreuzer 1791 coin, belonging to Leopold II, mintmark "E". I found this coin in the ground, in Transylvania, Romania.
I hope the attached images will help you make a decision.

The last two digits of the date look modified. The final "1" looks very little like the the first 1, the 1 on the coin pictured on the entry page, or digits I've seen on other coins from the era.

(This is currently listed as "requesting the creation or the modification of a mint", but it is requesting the change to a coin, not a mint.)
Hello,

As I said, it's a coin found in the ground with a metal detector. I don't know if it was modified by anyone. I did not find it on any profile site, so I submitted it to the attention of this site.
Bjherbison, I modified the post, as you suggested.

Many thanks

​Yes, there's something strange about the date, and there's nothing about an overdate in Krause:

Nice work.

I would say it looks like someone took a 1788 and faked the 91 (rather well), but that doesn't fit with the obverse.

Maybe an entrepreneur who actually had the dies of both types to play with? Is that possible?
It could be a joke or a mistake. But still, the currency exists. It could be a mistake. But it could be a real coin, given the conditions in which I found it.It is also seen to be a used coin, which has been used quite a lot

From how it is worn I am going to say that this is just a die that was recarved.
