Owner Comments:
This is an obverse die archival strike of the 1868 4 krajczár from the mint archive book at the Gyulafehérvár mint (GYF). The 1868 GYF issue was ultimately not produced except for some patterns. Based on an analysis of the dentils and other die markers, the obverse die used for this archival strike is different from all other known dies used for the business strikes, specimens, patterns, and restrikes of this one-year type. This makes it an archival strike of an otherwise unused die for the scrapped GYF business strike.
