[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 7682465, member: 120820"]Yes, the whole FEL TEMP series seems to have been almost as confusing back when issued as it is today! It started off with three denominations of different sizes (with the galley reverse being issued in two different sizes/denominations). Even with left facing busts being used to distinguish the middle denomination, the western mints apparently still saw enough room for confusion that for a while they added "A" and "N" field marks to distinguish the largest and middle types. Not surprising that this mess only lasted a few years before the other types were dropped and all that was left was the ever-shrinking fallen horseman. I'd like to have added a group shot of the various sizes, but unfortunately I'm in middle of reorganizing my collection and nothing is easily accessible.[/QUOTE]
