<< <i>Yugoslavia 1925 20D. Mintage of only 1000 >>
Beautiful coin!! Mine would probably only grade AU58, maybe MS60. I am jealous.
But now, I must be the bearer of bad news. I think perhaps Krause has made a clerical error in their mintage figure. Looking back to the very early days of SCWC (1974 edition), the mintage is listed as 1,000,000. This number is also confirmed in my 1988 version of "Jugoslovenski Katalog Metalnog Novca", by Ranko Mandic (specialist on Yugoslav coins, from Belgrade). I have the new 2006 edition of this catalog on order, should be here within a week or 2, depending on how fast the Serbian Numismatic Society ships, and I will let you know what the lastest information is, as soon as it arrives. I will also have better information on the varieties of this piece (4, according to the '88 catalog, having to do with yellow gold/red gold and the alignment of the torch privy mark)
I'm not afraid to die I'm afraid to be alive without being aware of it
Scott, that doesn't surprise me at all. I thought the 1000 figure was low. The thing is, Steinberg's, from whom I purchased the coin, also says a mintage of 1000.

Very nice.

My wife only shows interest in ancients. I guess that's why she married me.
