Quote: 1935-D Germany 10 pfennig @NumisRob: thanks for posting! I'm reminded of a question I've long had about the design on this coin. Maybe someone here can answer it? Does the design with the wheat stalks forming a triangle include an error? Five of the six stalks have two lines, but the one at the top on the left has three. It seems like the designer/engraver mistakenly "forgot" to curve the second line of the left side's middle wheat stalk into the wheat spike. I'm curious if this was an error or was done by design? Does anyone know?

The shield on the reverse is flanked by sprigs of Edelweiss on the left and Alpenrose on the right:

1981 Bermuda Ten Cents Sorry about the blurry pictures- they're old ones but I can't get new ones at the moment.  The flowers on the reverse are Bermudan Lilies.
