<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2728853, member: 46237&quot;]Well, what did it for me in this case was the gap. The type was struck in iron due to WWI and at the end of the war the type was finished. <i>Two new governments came to power and fell and neither struck the coin</i>. A third government 2 years later decided to restrike the type as a stopgap before minting new denominations. To me, I guess it&#039;s the same &quot;type&quot; but it also isn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similar things happened post WWII. For example, I put together a complete set of coinage for the Second Hungarian Republic (1946-1949). One of the types was only struck in 1948, however, the succeeding Soviet government, the Hungarian People&#039;s Republic (1949-1989) restruck the type in 1951. I only have an example of the type dated 1951, however, I can&#039;t bring myself to count it as an example of the type for the Second Hungarian Republic coinage set, since <i>they didn&#039;t strike the coin</i>. Likewise it becomes awkward to include the type in the Hungarian People&#039;s Republic set without splitting the type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
