Luxembourg KM 60.2, does it exist?

[Figleaf]

KM lists a variant of the Luxembourg 5 francs 1986 and 1987 with a larger crown (KM 60.2) at the same price as the same date "normal" type (KM 60.1). I have never seen this variant and my contact in Luxembourg (not a big time collector, though) hasn't seen it either. Can anyone confirm that it exits?

KM discribes the type as "larger crown". I also heard the description "crown touching/not touching rim". I always thought it had to do with a smaller or broader rim.

The lowest leaves in the wreath as well, I see. Thanks, Bart. That clears it up quite nicely.

Hi,

the documentation of this km60.1 versus km60.2!

I think Bart could very well be right, Ole. It looks like this has more to do with the rim than with the design. See the distance between the rim and the leaves at around 6 o'clock.

It may even be just a question of the pressure with which the coin was struck: slightly higher pressure gives broader rim, brings rim closer to design. Note the straightforward relation between the width of the rim and the distance between the rim and the design at 6 and 12 o'clock.

You're right, but it's still easier to see touch or no touch. Anyway I have added the rims in the boxes
