Belgium centime "I" size

[mrbadexample]

Good morning all.

Whilst taking some pictures for my smallest denominations thread, I couldn't help noticing the size of the "I" in KONING on this 1912 centime. Is this normal?

Thanks,
MBE

I have checked mine and that one also looks like having a slightly bigger I ...
Unfortunately I haven't got any spares to check.
But looking at the 1 centimes 1912 for sale on Ebay I see a lot with similar I's ...

Not sure if there are any with a "normal" one ...

Maybe others can check theirs ...

I've looked at earlier mintages, 1902 is what I have to hand, and the type face in general seems fatter. Perhaps an earlier years punch was used for the I.

Thank you both.

My coin has also a bigger I in Koning.
