<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 252293, member: 39&quot;]Errm, &quot;on them&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Don&#039;t understand Czech but here is a short article in Italian about the Böhmen &amp; Mähren coins: <a href="http://www.cnvaldostano.it/Notiziario/Notiziario%20n.%201_web.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cnvaldostano.it/Notiziario/Notiziario%20n.%201_web.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnvaldostano.it/Notiziario/Notiziario n. 1_web.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(Takes a while until the graphics are displayed, it seems.) On page 6 you find the article &quot;Il Protettorate di Bohemia e Moravia e la sua monetazione&quot;. It does not really say anything about the mint, in fact, most of the article will not be news for you. What I found interesting is this: &quot;Le prime prove di monetazione si realizzarono nel 1940 in zinco ed alluminio a cui seguirono nello stesso anno le coniazioni ufficiali.&quot; That is, the first coinage patterns were made in 1940 in zinc and aluminum followed by the official coinage in the same year.</p><p><br /></p><p>That article also says the obverse designer (&quot;Incisore del dritto&quot;) was Jaroslav Eder, reverse by O. Spaniel. And then there is this page: <a href="http://mince.kvalitne.cz/2.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://mince.kvalitne.cz/2.htm" rel="nofollow">http://mince.kvalitne.cz/2.htm</a> ... &quot;Jaroslav Eder&quot; ... &quot;Otakar Spaniel&quot;. A-ha!</p><p><br /></p><p>Still nothing about that mysterious mini-mint though ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
