"My Revision Of Series AR-HBVG (Duyrat Série 13) - Duyrat 2005"Total coin studied 27Au droit: tête ou buste d’Hélios radié à droite. Grènetis.
Obverse: Radiate bust of Helios, border of dots.Au revers: épis, grappes et pampres de vigne dans une corbeille.
Reverse: Small basket containing two ears of barley and branch of vine with bunch of grapes.A revision of this series was long overdue in my opinion, mainly because of the uncertainty surrounding some of the era dates in
Duyrat 2005 and the discovery of three entirely new years of coin production. For those of you who have already purchased this wonderful book, i offer this update. Before we get started i would like to take this opportunity in thanking
BNF,
BMC and Molinari for kindly allowing me to use their imagery. Also an additional thanks to all the anonymous owners of this
type used in verifying era dates and lettering/mint marks. For the record, i contributed with two série 13 coins of which one was extremely useful in respect to confirming a disputed era date, but alas i deemed the coin unsuitable for publication and choose not to add it to the mosaic below. However it will be uploaded to my
gallery at a later date.
I have highlighted the new era dates in bold letters, map key
abbreviations can be seen below.
(N.A)=Not available for study.
(N)=New era dated confirmed.
(C)=Era date confirmed.

Hopefully this will
help with further
identification of Série 13 coins in the future, i look forward to filling in possible new dates if and when they are discovered. I am pretty certain during the 108 years or more of production that these coins were more widely produced than the ten occasions i´m aware of.
P.S My full respect to all who undertake in writing/compiling books for publication or personal need.
Edit: Strange, the
red highlighting do not show up on my
Mac. Can anybody else see
red highlights ?
Edit/Edit:
Red highlights have been removed.
