Hi everyone, I wonder what is the difference between these two coins. In fact I don't find any difference (just the year of course). Why do we have different catalog pages for the two coins? Why is it Y#35 and Y#35a not just Y#35?

Different mintmark?

Looked it up in the original Yeoman book and it says Y35a has a smaller shield.

Possibly due to where they where minted because the first one was struck in Philadelphia US while the other in Paris France.

Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.

That's no reason for adding the letter. Mintmarks are not a major change of the design. But quickelephant is right, the size of the shield is slightly different. Thank you!

I was talking about the place the coin was minted not the mintmark although the shield size seems more explainable than the place of mint.

But the place where the coin was minted doesn't even make a difference on the coin and would be much less a criterion to give it an extra letter.

Yeoman adds a letter, but Schön just uses a decimal, Schön# 43.1 vs # 43.2.
The Numismatic Catalog of Venezuela lists it as a type difference for a design (mv25cts-aa01 and mv25cts-ab01).

I just suggested adding an automatic feature for generated flipping images of two coins.
