<p>[QUOTE="VDB, post: 24310236, member: 82270"]Found this curiosity in a world junk pile. It’s a modern Luxembourg 1990 1 Franc (KM# 63). The reverse has what appears to be a serial number machine stamped. Clearly this is PMD, but I’ve never seen anything like it. The number was stamped so as not to disturb any of the legend. I found this interesting because a typical household would probably not have the tools to create such a counterstamp. Someone took the time to do this and to do it carefully. Wonder what the purpose of doing this was, if there was a purpose. Has anyone encountered any coins similarly marked or have any idea why this was created?
