Comments

This coin pictured above has a (star?) rather than a sprig upper left of obverse, thus as KM#(137?) rather than KM#136, but KM#137 and its equivalent, USK-119.02, are both listed only for year 8 . The listing of year 7 for KM#136 is also correct, as is clear in the KM photo. This variety is probably unpublished, or at least never recorded in the principal catalogs.
Could be a weak strike of the sprig
