Notes:
(1) Officina "E" is unrecorded in RIC for this issue (2) While it may be tempting to list this as RIC unrecorded, it is my opinion that RIC is incorrect in its listing of the mint-mark for this coin. The proposed mint-mark is improbable for the reverse design, and as such my interpretation is supported by LRBC and Maurice. (3) Jean Elsen & ses Fils Auction 103: Lot No. 284
