Comments

This is a Type I obverse & reverse die.

 

- Tiny, almost non-existent period after L. and S.
- In use dots in stars
- Bust is Utberg's portrait c

 

As is the case of the 5 and 10 centavos coins, two styles of the lettering occurred. Type I has thin, rugged letters and numbers while Type II consist of heavy, regularly shaped letter. In some cases it might well be argued that the Type II letters & numbers were re-engraved over the Type I letters & numbers.
