Comments

This piedfort is a sample for the definitive issue KM# 212 issued 1988-1990.
Being piedfort, was minted on a doubled width planchet, using the same dies as on the final issue; therefore, the weight engraved does not match the real one.
Both on Krause and Aledon catalogues were given different #s for each variant and year; being all for the same KM# we posted them all together in this page.
