Comment
This coin has 3 variants, with differences on font, size and position of the fine mark (AG 900 for silver 0.900)
They are kown as "AG Big", "AG Medium" and "AG Small".
AG Big is the easier to identify: letters "A" and "G" are the same height, and "900" is very narrow, each number is nearly twice high as width.
On AG Medium "A" is higher than "G", and numbers are more round than AG Big, same happens with AG Small, but size of characters are slightly different, being slightly smaller on AG Small. It is not easy to identify them if not comparing one of each; but there are 2 more differences, that eases identification: On AG Medium, the AG 900 is closer to the date (above) than the AG Small. The other difference is that AG 900 is slightly moved to right on AG Small, with respect to date, and the other are centered. Is easy to notice in AG Small the gap between "A" and "G" is just under the center gap of the date "9" and "8", while on AG Big and AG Medium is under the "9".
