This coin is unlisted in Jekov, Boric-Brescovic. Varbanov, Moushmov, SNG Germany, and SNG Hungary. Provenance: Matt Richter (2006 to 2009), Kim Ghobrial (Uncleaned Lot discovery to 2006). I know what most folks will say when you look at this admittedly rough looking coin, complete attribution is impossible, much less to a coin as rare as what you are saying. They would be wrong. In hand I'm about 99% sure this coin is a die match for this coin: http://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=112401&AucID=128&Lot=1800 For more discussion of this coin type please refer to this coin's notes: http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/34600.php |
