<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 965322, member: 39&quot;]With these German Empire coins above 1 M, it would make sense to have one-sided patterns. After all, the other side would always be country (state) specific, and if you want to try a new eagle out, you would not need that ...&nbsp; If you go to <a href="http://www.ma-shops.de/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ma-shops.de/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ma-shops.de/</a> and enter &quot;Schaaf&quot; as your search term, you will see quite a few patterns, but hardly any one-sides pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first eagle (used until 1890) was criticized to some extent because it was not very &quot;wide&quot; and thus did not &quot;fill&quot; the center of the coin. Yours comes close - as far as the round shape is concerned - to the second version, used from 1890 until the end of the monarchy in 1918 ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
