World Mule Coins

Please explain. Is that a standard reverse instead of a comem reverse on a circulation coin or is it a retired design?

Yes, it is the standard reverse used, instead of the planned commemorative reverse. The standard reverse is used on the circulation issue 1 denar pieces, issued in 1993, 1997, 2001 & 2006.

This is the normal circulation issue:


[edit] BTW, the commemorative issue is a "circulating commem.", and both the normal commem & the "mule" version are readily available on ebay. The prices for this "mule" have been steadily climbing (I got mine several years ago for $4.00, now they usually run in the $12-25 range.)[/edit]

There is an error in my old Krause on these coins. They describe the sheep dog as the obverse which makes the 1 denar side the reverse which is as I expected it to be.
For the 2000 issue it has the ornamental cross as the reverse (this I'm guessing is incorrect) which would give a double reverse coin for 2000.
My Krause is an 03 issue which doesn't even mention the coins were minted in 01
