Difficult to identify the mint in '1 Franc - Baudouin I Dutch text' Coin

Hi all,

It's about '1 Franc - Baudouin I Dutch text' Coin ( https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces571.html# ).

In the year of 1951 you have to choose from 4 mints.

Could you help me to know what is the difference between "Without signature" ,
"RAU." and "KM#143.1" ?

Thank you

Marcelo

Hi Marcelo,

there are 4 kinds of this particular year of this particular coin. The key is in the orientation (coin or medal alignment) and in the signature of the designer Marcel Rau.

• 1951: 'normal'; coin alignment; signature says: "RAU"
  
• 1951: medal alignment
  
• 1951: coin alignment; without signature (No "RAU")
  
• 1951: coin alignment; signature says: "RAU." (with a dot afterwards)
  

I hope that helps.
Kind regards and good luck

Thanks Chilian.

Mine is normal one.

Could your explanation be included in the coin's page?

I think this information is very important and is missing there.
