Rauch Source:     http://www.hdrauch.com Price Sold For:     50 Euro Date Sold:     23/9/2005 Notes:     (1) While it may be tempting to list this as RIC unrecorded, it is my opinion that RIC is incorrect in its listing of the mint-mark for this coin. The proposed mint-mark is improbable for the reverse design, and as such my interpretation is supported by LRBC and Maurice. (2) H.D. Rauch Mail Bid Sale 9: Lot No. 1290
