Perù KM#214

The rims are different, try to measure…. you can see the text is nearer to the rim on one type? Why is the topic locked?

Don't know what topic you mean you would have to give us a thread link.

Also when you talk about specific catalog entries a link should also be provided.

At least through this thread I have seen a written out date in Latin script on a coin for the first time.

Hm, I don't know under what rules the Numistarobot is locking threads. Also my memory doesn't seem to be the best anymore as I have also posted in the old thread and I've seen this coin already. 😅

Hi…looking at my photos after 2 years I can agree with different rims.

But I've also noticed a different gap between REPUBLICA and PERUANA…you can also look at position of the final A of REPUBLICA above the head.

Now the questions: other 214.1 and 214.2 coins have these same differences?Are these differences the correct way to distinguish the 2 subtypes?

Andrea

Hi, 

in my opinion the division into subtypes in this case is not so much referred to differences on the coins, but referred to the official documents produced by the Casa de Moneda de Lima and related to the Mints which struck the coins : # 214.1 was entrusted to a US Mint (Philadelphia); # 214.2 was entrusted to a UK Mint (London).  For both Mints master dies were provided under supervision of Peruvian officials;  but the “working-dies” of course can (must) have small differences, which are - for the purpose of the numismatic subtypes of this 10 Centavo -  of less importance.

A very well researched and complete reference-book for 20th century coins of Peru is : Yábar A., Francisco, „Monedas fiduciarias del Perú 1822-2000”, Lima 2001. Unfortunatelly I don't know if it is still available.
