    Thanks for looking.
    Evidence in old auction results 30 years ago imply they exsist.
    Have seen several in slabs misidentified as K.1 when they were K.2's as the one you have. K.2'S are fairly common.
    I have collected this series for over 25 years. One showd up in the 90's at a top world coin dealer
    But was sold before his ad in world coin news even came out.
    Made at the Brussels mint for El Salvador in 1914 the Same year Germany overran Belgium in WWI.
