China: 1 fen, modern letter versus Stylized letters, different font

Hi,

could anyone please document those differences with images or just images and I'll do the documentation?

Thanks in advance

Ole

Hi again,

I went to Cobra's (Michel Guérin) site http://monnaiesetvarietes.esy.es/FICHES/Chine/CHINE%201%20Fen%20KM%201.pdf
and from there I made this documentation in jpg format! Don't worry, I have his standing permission to do that.



I'll now make the change request and I hope somebody might correct the corresponding lines?

Ole

Oh my.....

excuse me but the macro images are from a 5 fen coin..... I've contacted Michel to hear if this documentation is also true for the 1 fen coin, specially the years minted in both mints.

I'll now try to set up this documentation with my macro images from my collection.

Sorry again

Ole

Hi,

the explanation of the two different mints can also be read here, but there is no hint to which years are minted where!

Hi,

so here are the years and where the coins were minted! It seems that the 1980 and 1982 are the only two years minted in both mints! So now I just have to change the macro images!

HI,

please give me your opinions to this new documentation taking into account the data from the two links sited above.

Hi Ole,

There's some more documentation and pics in this post (to which you contributed as well):

The easiest way to identify which type of font is used is the presence or absence of a serif in the character 人 on the obverse.

You're always welcome to use my images, btw.

Hi Arno,

I think that's valid for the 5 fen coins. I'll check later, since I'm into problems with 5 piso coins from the Philippines now, see my entry of today. Now a quick shower, cinema and dinner in town!

Take care

Ole
