Comment
NGC and NumisMaster have conflicting information as to the KM number (KM6.2a versus KM6.3), weight (6.1 versus 6.4 grams), and composition of this coin (copper nickel versus copper plated steel), at least for 1433/2012 and 1435/2014. Correct weight appears to be 6.1 grams, reflecting a composition of copper plated steel for all three years (1433/2012, 1435/2014, and 1443/2022), and KM6.3 will be used for the time being.1435 (2014) Roll:
