ESSAIS AND PROVAS Público Deposited

Contenido del artículo
  • This week, Kavan Ratnatunga adds: "The non-english words
    "essais" and "provas" are used in Krause without definition.
    Do they have precise numismatic meaning, and are they the
    same or in some way different from these terms - ?

    Pattern - official design that did not go into production.

    Trial - coin with some Test mark identifying them as a Test
    piece. A uniface strike also indicates it obviously a Trial

    OMS - off-metal-strike of a regular coin in circulation
    with no other markings

    I could not figure why "essais" and "provas" are Trial or OMS,
    or different. Krause as usual does not seem to be consistent."
