Hi,

I'm curious about a mark on a coin. These leper colony coins of Colombia bear three marks: "B", "H" and "RH" according to Krause. I can't figure out what they stand for. It seems reasonable that they stand for a mint. The designs look to similar for a distinct designer.
I can imagine "B" stands for Bogota and H for Heaton (?). But for what stands "RH"?
Anyone with some understanding of these coins or with a good imagination?

Thanks in advance
