<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 8429501, member: 104064&quot;]Is there evidence that any of these were struck for a specific &quot;very important person&quot;? I don&#039;t know anything about these but it reminds me of the designations &quot;branch mint proof&quot; and certain &quot;specimen&quot; examples in the US. The position of many specialists is that the branch mints - San Francisco and New Orleans - had no coin press capable of making proof coins, and there&#039;s no evidence that the planchets or dies were specially prepared. Similarly for some coins designated &quot;specimen&quot;, no evidence that the coins were minted in any special way or specifically for a person or purpose. They&#039;re just really nice looking examples and the grading companies decided to add some hype. My personal views only.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
