Sudan 2 Girsh 1963

» Quick access to the last post

Hello, every body,
Just  looked through  my Sudan  coins, and discovered that  1963 2 girsh is   too different from  other   brothers under same KM#  (36)

KM# 36 2 GHIRSH
Copper-Nickel, 20 mm. Obv: Legend and value above flower
sprigs Rev: Camel with rider running left

AH1382-1963 1,250,000 — 0.15 0.35 0.85 1.75
AH1386-1966 Proof — — — — — —
AH1387-1967 7,834 — 0.15 0.35 0.85 1.75
AH1387-1967 Proof 7,834 Value: 1.75
AH1388-1968 5,251 — 0.15 0.35 0.85 1.75
AH1388-1968 Proof 5,251 Value: 3.00
AH1389-1969 2,149 — 0.15 0.35 0.85 1.75
AH1389-1969 Proof 2,149 Value: 3.50


But 1963 coin has  smaller mountains and rider,  low relief, thin  and  low rim, thin "2"
while the 1967 has big mountains and rider,   thick "2" , thick  and high rim.

Then I checked all the coins in the  KM Catalog, and found that only 2 girsh  was struck in 1963,  and no one  from other denominations  from " CAMEL"   design.
So, I think it must be   new  KM.    Tomorrow will   make a pictures to show you that these  2  years ( 1963 and 1967)   are quite defferent and  shouldnot be listed under same  KM number.

there is a wrong picture  ( as well as in   2014 Krause ) . 2 girsh  coin is not scalloped, its   a round   shape  coin. Its a picture of 2 millemes
hi,
well, here are promised  pictures:
I think there is no doubts  , they are  totally different coins.

1963 VS 1967



There are so much differences , I think you will also find something from your  side :)
1. main picture size ( camel+ rider )
2. Mountain size
3. main picture design (different engravers I guess)  -   different   cord of lush, different face design,  different  camel  leg thickness, different mountain ` style and so on
4. crossing of  camel` legs :   left foreleg in frot of right back leg VS  right backleg in front of  left foreleg
5. rim thickness
6. thin inscription VS thick inscription
7 thin and tall denomination VS  thick denomination
8.large  " QiRSH"  VS  small " QIRSH"

thank you , dear friends,

dont   put your attention on coin size - its just photo and crop option fault.  Coin diameter is same.
Ole, - sorry, - not yet, just came back home.   Will see your mail in a few minutes
Hi,

so here is the documentation of Dato's find, which has been sent to KM, and will go into our variant site:

thank you, Ole,
great job ! I have already sent request  to Numista catalogue

just  a typo in  #5: 1963, not 1962

Also, if  it is interest: I have complete sets of 1967,1968,1970, and 1971 coins, and all of them are same 2 girsh to 1967, so I can conclude that    1963 is only year with  different design
.
Not sure if in the same year ther could be  other  varietes, bit  from  my collection I can say that 1963  2 girs is not  KM 36, and also not  KM 33

thanks again best regards and happy collecting !
Hi,

just so that I understand fully. Do we only talk about 1967, 68, 69, which were the km36? The 1970, km43.1, is that the same as the 1967 (bold "2")? What about the 1970, 71 with a fine "2", km43.2?

If the images in SCWC are correct, then

the 43.1 has the big "qhirsh" like the 1963, but a bold "2"?
the 43.2 has the small "qhirsh" like the 1967-69, but a fine "2"?

Can you confirmn this?

I'll only modify the documentation, when you have given me the answers. Up to now it's looking like this:

Im sorry, Ole,

of course, I mean only  KM 36 years  :) Sorry again.
Hi Dato,

no problem with me, it's just better to have it cleared up beforehand (;0

Hi,

I just got this from the group: http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php

From Afrasi:

Of course, you are right! This is a long known mistake in KM.
They did it right for example at the 2 Millim pieces #30:
The circulation strike is #30.1 and the PP strike is #30.2.
The same way it should be here at the 2 Ghirsh pieces.

But in your documentation you should mention the right picture being the usual PP variant.

My answer:

Thank you for your confirmation.

What is a PP variant? Are you telling me that the 1963 can have the same design as the 1967?

I'm still discussing with Dato also about the the km43.1 and 43.2 to see, where they fit in with their designs. In the "km36" range, he has confirmes, that only the 1963 has the design to the left and 1968-69 have the right design, can you also confirm that?

Anyway I have to modify the documentation, since I had a tipo in #5 (1962 instead of 1963), so now I want to have the full "truth" before releasing the new version

Sorry! PP is a German term similar to Proof.

Are you telling me that the 1963 can have the same design as the 1967?

All Proof coins of this type (1967,1968 and 1969) have the right design, the circulation strike (1963) has the left design. Additionally I have a heavily used piece of 1969 with the Proof design. Either it was a Proof coin entering circulation, or it there were coins made with the Proof dies. In modern Sudanes coinage everything is possible. Otherwise you are also correct saying coins of 1963 show the design of the left picture and all coins of 1967 - 1969 show the the design of the right picture.

btw: Has anyone ever seen a 1966Proof or a circulation strike of 1967/1968 mentioned in KM? I never saw these coins.

The same it is with #43. The circulation strike with the large denomination is #43.1 and the Proofs of 1970 and 1971 are #43.2 with the small denomination.
I see it the Proof/circulation-strike way, Dato and you see it just by date. Both is probably correct.



Dato, I hope you understand Afrasi's comments?

hello, Ole
Yes, I understand ,
but  I dont  agree to divide  coinage on " proof issues" and " circulation isues under  same KM.

If  coins  of 1963 and 1967/68/69 have  the same diameter and denomination, it doesnot mean that we must to   list all of them under one KM section. They are completely  different coins, and at least they must be listed  as  36.1 ( for  1963) and  36.2 ( for 1967/68/69 )

thank you very much   for your   discussion  in worldofcoins .eu

Hi Dato,

neither do I, for me the proof (a grade in the end) is just an extra column of grading and nothing else. Unfortunately the numista catalog makes a line for "proof" coins ;(

​That's not correct, Ole. A proof is not a grade, it's a finish. When a proof coin gets into circulation, it's perfectly possible to have a proof coin in VF grade. And therefore a proof coin deserves it's own year line.

This was 2.5 years ago. I've just checked the Krause 2017 edition but still no changes there. I know it will take some time so I guess we just have to wait longer and see if there will ever be a change. Dato is right, the differences are too big, the coin needs at least a new sub number if not a totally new number. But only KM can give new numbers/sub numbers.
