The 20 is denoted as XX in Roman Numerals and is located on the obverse to the right of George I&#039;s bust. </font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">2. The Florint denomination is struck on the reverse in clockwise order, from about 1:00 to 4:00 o&#039;clock, as FLORENT:</font></font></p><p><font size="5"> </font></p><p><font size="5"></font><a href="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=980887&amp;AucID=913&amp;Lot=102&amp;Val=71a069d7ccf59568a9b0feb9cef02058" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=980887&amp;AucID=913&amp;Lot=102&amp;Val=71a069d7ccf59568a9b0feb9cef02058" rel="nofollow"><u><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="color: #0000ff"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=980887&amp;AucID=913&amp;Lot=102&amp;Val=71a069d7ccf59568a9b0feb9cef02058</font></font></span></span></u></a></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">Here is the error Unite. Just like the non error coin XX is placed behind King Charles I&#039;s bust on the obverse, but when you look at the denomination on the reverse you see the &quot;O&quot; is missing so the denomination is in error as it reads FLRENT:</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=980885&amp;AucID=913&amp;Lot=100&amp;Val=b0157e9fe41105fae32cb792e374d152" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=980885&amp;AucID=913&amp;Lot=100&amp;Val=b0157e9fe41105fae32cb792e374d152" rel="nofollow"><u><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="color: #0000ff"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=980885&amp;AucID=913&amp;Lot=100&amp;Val=b0157e9fe41105fae32cb792e374d152</font></font></span></span></u></a></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">Hope you enjoyed seeing this error from the two years of King Charles I&#039;s monarchy.</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">To be continued...</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">Clinker</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
