tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 6895 Posts	Posted 10/10/2024 1:45 pm I am trying to understand/solve a conflict between different images of Bhutan KM#1, 1/2 Rupee also called a Deb. In my 1985 hard copy of KM 12th Edition (which I still refer to often for places in Asia), I see an image of KM#1 which does not correspond to the image I see in Numismater: https://numismaster.com/MC_127398. Instead, the Numismaster image looks like KM#4a in my 1985 hard copy. So I am curious if this is some kind of well-known error in either Numismaster or KM. Here are the relevant images: Grateful for help from anyone who knows these types. Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1805 Posts	Posted 10/10/2024 5:37 pm Could this be a case like India where the dies are larger than the flans? So images vary since the die strikes are not seen in total? Report this Post to the Staff
