Comment
This page shares KM number with N408967 but was split due to being different type. It is currently unknown which dates of KM726 constitute which type, only sure dates being 1706 and 1707 for earlier type and 1711 for later type. Due to presumed gap of minting in 1708, variants dated 1709 and 1710 are presumed to be of the later type and thus on this page.
