Last month I bought a 1964 Luxembough Coronation 20 Franc gold. In my Krause/Mishler World Gold Coins book, it indicates that they were all minted in the medallic reverse, M4c. Mine has the coin reverse. I can not find any information on any of this created with a coin reverse. Any info out there? Thanks for any and all info. VOSGTC
Coin turn, I guess. In my research into this coin, Krause 4th Ed. Worl Gold Coins lists this as a "Medallic Issue", which has been described to me as both the obverse and the reverseuse the same edge for the top. So if it is hung like a medal on the uniform, if either the obverse or reverse is shown, they are both up right. A 'Coin Reverse" if hung as above, the reverse would be up side down. So it there a proper "coin turn" or "coin orindation" terms, please.
Proper term is the alignment - coin or medal You are correct, your coin appears to be "coin alignment" I don't know the answer to your original question, but Krause has been know to have mistakes in it.
2011 Krause lists a 20 Franc gold KM# E72 but that is Essai and would have that word below the crown.
In my opinion the term "medallic issue" does not refer to the orientation but to the type or character of the piece. Elsewhere you find descriptions such as "medal, 20 fr type". There is also a Cu-Ni variety of this issue. Christian
Yes, I have seen that use as well. But this OP was referring to the alignment of the two sides, I'm pretty sure. It seems the "normal" piece is "medal alignment". That raises a question: Is this a "coin alignment" variety, a 180 degree rotated die, or some kind of fake?
The coin was struck as coin allignment and is described as Medallic Coinage, according to my Unusual World Coins 5th Edition X#M4c 6.4516grams mintage 25,000
