<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2722223, member: 46237&quot;]Has anyone else had a challenge trying to attribute types during transitional periods or rapid changes in government (as with WWI/WWII)? How did you resolve it?</p><p><br /></p><p>How do you attribute a type that was struck by multiple governments, especially across a break? Do you simply attribute the type to the first government, or attribute it to multiple governments with different dates?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an example of what I&#039;m talking about:</p><p><br /></p><p>During WWI, Hungary (under the Austro-Hungarian Empire) issued iron 10 and 20 fillér coins from 1916 (some dated 1914 and 1915 using older dies) through 1918. Post WWI, the First Hungarian Republic (1918-1919) did not issue any coins. The following government was even shorter lived, the Hungarian Soviet Republic (1919). They intended to mint coins and created many drafts, but ultimately did not issue any coins either. The government after that was the Horthy Regency, and they didn&#039;t do much with coinage until 1926 when they created the Pengő system, but from 1920-1922 they resumed minting the iron 10 (1920 only) and 20 fillér (1920-1922) coins and some other patterns in 1922.</p><p><br /></p><p>Krause lists each of these coins as one type attributed to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, though the Empire did not exist after 1918:</p><ul> <li>10 fillér KM496 (1915-1920)</li> <li>20 fillér KM498 (1916-1922)</li> </ul><p>I tend to think of them like this, however:</p><p><br /></p><p>Austro-Hungarian Empire WWI issues:</p><ul> <li>10 fillér (1916-1918) (some dated 1914-1915)</li> <li>20 fillér (1916-1918)</li> </ul><p>Kingdom of Hungary, Horthy Regency issues:</p><ul> <li>10 fillér (1920)</li> <li>20 fillér (1920-1922)</li> </ul><p>The post-WWI Horthy Regency issues are significantly easier to come by than the WWI issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>How do you collect in this type of scenario? Do you consider only the type, or do you collect an example of the type from each issuing government?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
