weavus135 Pillar of the Community United States 539 Posts	Posted 07/06/2010 7:32 pm this is the best picture I could get - it is off of an ebay item. The problem I had was the extra 'mark' on the left below the F in Francs. I was thinking this was KM 1.3 but there is no indication of any additional markings. The seller says it is a rectangular stamp with 1AR stamped inside. Does anyone have any idea what this is? Is that some sort of indicator for a copy, trial strike or ? here is the actual listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT Edited by weavus135 07/06/2010 7:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

In my catalog (2004) it says there's the mintmark "1 AR" to the left of CFA for KM#3.2, 500 fr., but it doesn't show on the picture either. I think it's legit. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/07/2010 05:04 am I believe you are correct this is KM#1.3, the 1 AR is the mint mark for Areezo, Italy. This coin was only struck in proof with a Krause value of $45.00. Report this Post to the Staff
