<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2952740, member: 46237&quot;]The fillér denomination was still relatively new in 1900. They created the denomination in 1892 when they adopted the gold standard. So, you see a lot of 1, 2, 10, and 20 fillér coins struck in those first years as they were intended to replace the older coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look at the mintage numbers for the 1 and 2 fillér for 1892-1901:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 fillér</p><p>1892 - 8,153,000</p><p>1893 - 8,152,507</p><p>1894 - 8,641,784</p><p>1895 - 9,121,315</p><p>1896 - 5,396,972</p><p>1897 - 5,156,580</p><p>1898 - 1,419,348</p><p>1899 - 5,065,895</p><p>1900 - 10,461,111</p><p>1901 - 5,993,930</p><p><br /></p><p>2&nbsp; fillér</p><p>1892 ?</p><p>1893 - 17,176,179</p><p>1894 - 39,150,321</p><p>1895 - 65,016,511</p><p>1896 - 53,715,725</p><p>1897 - 37,296,844</p><p>1898 - 14,972,860</p><p>1899 - 21,569,648</p><p>1900 - 584,449</p><p>1901 - 25,805,472</p><p><br /></p><p>You can see they struck way more of the 2 fillér overall, but the relatively small mintage of 1900 coincides with a surge of production for the 1 fillér the same year. Both coins had planchets stamped from ~1mm thickness bronze. I&#039;m guessing they just thought they needed more of the 1 fillér that year? Interestingly, during the forint period (1867-1892), they revised the coinage every decade, starting with 1870. They did not do this in 1900 (I suppose since all the coinage was redesigned in 1892?).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
