5. Encased 10 Cantavos 1942 from
the Dominican Republic............by Jack Hepler, USA
Here is a scan of an encased 10
Centavos 1942 of the Dominican Republic. This was sent
to me by WBCC member Bertie van Haag.
The ring is uniface with the radiating design apparently hand scribed; the spacing is not consistent. And the ring looks hand made as well, and may have been made from another coin but I can't read the lettering. This specimen could be unique. 6. Bi-metallic Medal from
Korea.....by Allen Kwon, South-Korea
Korea Mint(KOMSCO) has
