Owner Comments:
This is an early iron piedfort pattern of 2 fillér KM-497 based on the design of 2 fillér KM-481 with a reduced diameter. A business strike of this design was never produced. The general appearance of the obverse was maintained (minus the dentils) for KM-497, however, the design of the reverse was changed completely.
This is an extremely rare pattern that I cherrypicked at auction as it was misattributed as an AU example of the typical business strike of KM-497, which would otherwise be a wholly unremarkable coin.
