This is a type set I have been working on and off for a couple of years. I finally got all the pieces together and am almost ready to publish the album. I realize that the reverse are shown with medal alignment instead of coin alignment but it's so strange viewing them "upside down". This is the premiere version and I still have a little fine tuning before publishing. Thing about expanding the history to 2 pages so I can expand on the era. I may have condensed it too much. I have plenty more to add but was trying to maintain the "album" format. A couple of the coins, I am still searching for upgrades for. The 1928/7 25 Centavos is proving to be elusive. Also KM# 180 5 Centavos in years 1937,1938 or 1941. Comments welcome.
Very nice set.....and I love the eagle and shield one the early 1 peso coins......so much I've have included it in my type dollars set. As it was minted here and is a crown.
A mule is a coin that has a design intended for another coin. Most of the time it's an error. In this case it was intentional. The obverse is an 1928 20 Centavos and the reverse is from the die of a 1927 5 Centavos. Thus the mule part. The 8 was overstruck on the 1927 die creating the overdate, which is not usually visible except on higher grade coins. Mintage was only 100,000
I think this comes down to aesthetics. If this is to be designed as an album version, the alignment should be represented. There were a couple of times when I was designing the Japanese and Korean type set album when the orientation was switched from coin alignment to medal alignment. For reasons why - I don't know. This will neglect the importance of such changes. Take a US coin album or any coin alignment type set albums and flip the pages.
The final completed version that I publish will be correct in alignment. I'll have both versions on my PC for my viewing. It's just a matter of preference. If I was doing for someone else I would let them decide how they want to view it.
