Lithuania. Unusual variety of 5 litas 1999 coin "with cock"

[medved]

This variety type "with cock" or "with bird" is only on 1999 coins

I have a 1999, KM # 113...is that the right one?  Will have to look at it after work.

This is KM#113 but in Krause nothing about that variety

[medved]

1st coin - usual 5 litai 1999
2nd coin - 5 litai 1999 with cock
3rd coin - obverse of 5 litai 1999 with cock, the same like without cock

[Prosit]

What is your feeling on these...minted in about equal numbers?

(EDIT ADDED LATER) The one I have doesn't have the mintmark.

[medved]

The most part of mintage are usual coins, "cock" variety not so easy to find even in Lithuania.
Variety "with cock" I sold in Russia couple of months ago for 15 euro

Is the "cock" (rooster) a mint mark?

Can I use your images to send to KM? and to post on our variant site: https://sites.google.com/site/coinvarietiescollection/home

No, this not a mint mark.
You can use it, but don't forget my name

When opening this topic I was sure the variety refers to certain parts on the obverse. 

[medved]

This is not a variety, this is just mint error

I'll show my graphic of the rooster variant, since all the links in this post are no longer active....
