Die-links 1–2: same pair of dies. 1–2: same obv. die as 3353/1, 3, 5, 3354/2, 3356/1, 3366/1, 3368/1–3, 5, 3386/1. 1–2: same rev. die as 3385/1.
Note It looks as though a further numeral by the L, possibly a redundant second Κ, has been erased on the die. Subsequently an Α was recut over the erasure and the die reused for an issue of year 21.
