Alfred New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/21/2009 1:53 pm Hey! Any help with this coin would be much appreciated. I know it dates to AH 1255/ Year 1, but I can't seem to find the precise coin in any catalog. The coin is 20mm in diameter but is very, very thin (almost like heavy foil) and only weighs 1.35 grams. Thank you. AL Image: 100_3604_edited.jpg 30.88 KB Image: 100_3610_edited.jpg 23.77 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Alfred New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/22/2009 09:31 am Thanks, found it! Follow-up question: Is this coin a rare specimen of the 20 Para coin from this period? Once I found the coin I was able to determine that there are quite a number available with dates from 1255/2 and up...but I haven't been able to find any year 1 coins. Again, I thank you for any help you can give. Al Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16859 Posts	Posted 04/22/2009 11:00 am The Krause catalogue lists dates for this type (KM# 653) ranging from 1255/1 to 1255/5. Judging from the catalogue values, 1255/1 is in fact the commonest. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
