Before 1985 are known coins &quot;prooflike&quot; (italian &quot;fondi lucidi&quot;, I think it&#039;s the same thing).</p><p>Their number is unknown, included in the total mintage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, but for five years there are discrepancies in mintage of proof coins between Krause and Italian catalogs, so these are mintage of &quot;Gigante 2017&quot;, the best reference for Italian coins</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1985 - 15,385 (Krause 15,000)</p><p>1986 - 17,500 (Krause not specified)</p><p>1988 -&nbsp;&nbsp; 9,000 (Krause 10,000)</p><p>1989 -&nbsp;&nbsp; 9,260 (Krause 10,000)</p><p>1990 -&nbsp;&nbsp; 9,400 (Krause 10,000)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For the other years, mintage is the same for Krause and Gigante. My reference for Krause is 38th edition, 2011, I don&#039;t know if, in more recent editions, they corrected discrepancies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Congratulations for your choice, and best wishes for your collection [ATTACH=full]708897[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>petronius <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
