Different Caduceus for the Royal Dutch Mint? [solved]

3 posts • viewed 203 times
Some of the 2021 coins from Luxembourg have a notation from the French Numista: Différent Lion/Caducée

Anyone have any information on this? Was it an intentional change? Pics or it didn't happen.

I guess the word “Différent” might simply mean “mintmark” in French.

(Dear French colleagues, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Then, for example, there are three versions of Luxembourg's 2 cents minted in 2021:

  • "BE - Différent Pont/Lion" – proof (aka BE), with “bridge/lion” mintmark(s)
  • “BU - Différent Pont/Caducée” – “sets only” (aka BU), with “bridge/caduceus” mintmark(s)
  • “Différent Lion/Caducée” – ordinary coin, with “lion/caduceus” mintmark(s)
ūūūūū

Different in french is meaning symbol, so also mint mark.
