Comments

KM#64.2 (1960-1962) differs from KM#64.1 (1959 only) in the format of the legend and regnal year on the obverse.

KM#64.1 has the regnal year "AN·I" as a continuation of the main legend (and hence upside down) and the Pope's name starts below the bust.

KM#64.2 has the regnal year oriented differently from the main legend containing the Pope's name, and centered under the bust ("right way up" as commonly seen for numeric dates).
