I don&#039;t have any idea how many were struck, however, examples from 1936 seem to be significantly scarcer. Finding one this nice is a condition rarity. Most examples have moderate wear and are darkly toned. This is the earliest use of unusual aluminum-bronze planchets I know of in Hungary; this composition was also used in striking small coinage from 1946-1950.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]561790[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]561791[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
