Hi all.

 

I have just purchased the coin shown but can't find the mint for the stated year listed.

 

N#38456

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Maybe it's a Berlin type head? KM#300

Yes I wondered that. The script on the reverse is more like KM#299 though. Would you agree?

After having studied the obverse more I have decided that it is KM#300 after all! The way the neck of the portrait extends to the edge of the coin makes me believe this a “Berlin” type.

 

Thanks Idolenz 👍

The problem is that' you can't really compare handcut dies even less from different mints and years most of the time for these kind of coins. There are probably dozens of slightly different dies.

So I gather there is nothing to add, right?

Correct. Couldn't see how to set the discussion to “solved”. Thanks. 👍
