Only later did I notice the holder said "without mint name". If true, this is the scarcer of two varieties--I like when that happens!

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 12:31 pm Thanks Amr. I never saw this coin before; it was too interesting to pass up! I believe the mintmark should be below LATVIJA in the scroll. Report this Post to the Staff

MedveD Valued Member Latvia 97 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 02:15 am I wrote an article about this "mint names" in one Russian magazine. There are no varieties like it is written in Krause catalog. Especially on 1 santims 1928, Because of "Huguenin", it is Swiss mint and all bronze coins dated from 1926-1935 was minted in the UK! There is no possibility to have a Swiss mint name on the UK coin! http://goccf.com/t/183682 Report this Post to the Staff
