Comments

Some sources say a mintage number of 40,000, some mention only 25,000. I use the second one because the Schön catalog uses it, and Schön is usually very exact with his information.

Included in FAO Money Panel #1. Official FAO Data sheet that accompanies the panels states 25,000 in circulation

Minted in Germany
