Gary D Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I notice in spinks that there are two 1920 florins, deeply engraved or shallow cut. I'm sure with one of each side by side the difference would be quite plain to see, but with a singe example is there a way of tell which one I have? Quote
Rob Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 The deeply engraved type has the I of GEORGIVS pointing to a space, the shallow portrait has the I pointing to a bead. cf.Davies p.84. He also lists a third variety with a smaller reverse design having quote "slightly longer beads at top with 0 in date 'hand struck' & centred over space". The latter in combination with the first type of obverse. Quote
Guest Guest Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Thanks Rob, looks as though mine is the deep cut. Quote
