Franklin Mint & Barbados

Man

Where is the mintmark located for a Barbados Proof cent(1973)?



Thank you in advance,
Man


PS: Is there a site where I can look up mintmark for proof Franklinn Mint coins?

The Franklin Mint mintmark is a stylized FM, often located on the reverse of the coin.

For the Barbados cent the FM appears to be above the E in CENT on the reverse, just below the cross member of the trident and to the right of the vertical staff of the trident, based on the image in the Krause catalog.

As far as I know the Franklin Mint always used a FM as their mintmark.

I believe they've also used a stylized lower case f, it looks like it's flying. Example: Tunisia 1969 Venus 1 Dinar

Franklin Mint did coins for Tunisia?!?!?
I had no idea.

Thats the one thanks for giving a flying F.

Farthing the letters above the E in CENT is actually PM and it's on all Barbados coins.

Only that funny F is on Proof, Mattes and Unc. I know see the F is D in BARBADOS on the obverse.
