Lot description
Grade: AU
Reference: Zbichorski 902, Chałupski 2.11.1 III.f, Parchimowicz (-)
Collection: Zbiór Zbichorskich

Here is one of the most interesting coins of the Second Republic from a selected portion of numismatic coins of the period from the Kazimierz Zbichorski collection.

It's a striking mint destruct of 20 1923 pennies, a coin without a side with the denomination, but only with the obverse and its concave negative print on the other side. Minting error created by putting a new coin disc on a struck but unstamped coin and re-stamping it. Accurately called a "brakteat" minting, due to its one-sided nature.

Virtually unheard of in the trade.

In the company's history to date, we have had this type of mint destruct only 1 time for the denomination of 20 pennies. However, it was the reverse (the side with the denomination) and it was in 2014!
