<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2659069, member: 46237&quot;]Here are a pair of new pickups for my Hungarian set:</p><p><br /></p><p>A matched pair of uniface die trials</p><p>Hungary 10 Krajczár 1870GYF</p><p>KM-451.2</p><p>Tin (normally a silver issue)</p><p>Obverse Trial 1.02g 18mm</p><p>Reverse Trial 0.79g 18mm</p><p><br /></p><p>Paper and glue remnants on the reverses are evident; left over from their time in the mint archive book at the Gyulafehérvár (Karlsburg) mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]589553[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]589552[/ATTACH] </p><p>This pair of die trials is possibly unique. I have found no reference to them in any standard catalog, including the Adamovszky catalog, which is the definitive source (including patterns, proofs, off-metal strikes, and trials) for information on Hungarian coins of this period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
