Taylorman New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 12:16 am I can post a picture later on if needed(using mobile device). I noticed an upside down triangle punch just below and to the right of the 3 of 1963 of a 1 KR silver coin. I looked up the coin online and found that none had that marking. Is it really distinct with clear lines and has aged with the coin. Could use some help identifying this marking. Report this Post to the Staff

All I can do is quess you have a one Krona 1963 Swedish coin. If it is punched in, its called a CounterPunch. Why for, who did it? Jewelers sometimes, other countries, even banks made these for various reasons. Maybe a foreign collector may know this individual countermark? Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 02:24 am The metal around the triangle looks raised up and outward from the triangle. The triangle is not supposed to be there. I conclude that someone used a triangular-tipped punch/tool to put that there after it was minted. For what reason? I don't know.
