East Africa, 50 cents

Категории:.

Ruler: Elizabeth II. Obv: Crowned bust right. Rev: Lion and mountains within 3/4 circle with fleur ends, date divides denominations below. Edge: Reeded. Note: The KHN mint marks above exist because the master dies were produced with both the KN and H mint marks for use at either mint. Each mint was required to remove the other's mint mark before striking, but this was not always meticulously done. When one or the other mint mark was not fully removed a weak trace would remain creating the appearance of a wide space K N with a weak H in the middle or an H flanked by a weak K and N, in the field below the lion.
