Hi. I have these 2 undated mezzo baiocchi of Benedict XIV
Clearly different variants.
Any chance for a more precise identification aside from generic KM# 137 undated variants?

I am not sure if this series has been researched for variants. In principle and especially for low value coins produced in large quantity, it is common to find die variants, as dies were cut by hand from scratch.

It is good to have such variants posted, so that future researchers can find them.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
