Rotation error on scalloped or polygonal coins: Chatou 1918 25 Centimes example

1 publicação • visualizado 52 vezes

As rotation errors on round coins are very common, I used to wonder wether such errors exist among scalloped and/or polygonal coins. A few years ago, I decided to put some extra effort in collecting circulation coins with different shapes. At some point, I bought a 15-scalloped coin turned out to have a rotation error, it is a Chatou 1918 25 Centimes: N#26410.

The red lines in the right picture show that there is a perfect 24 (360/15) degrees rotation error.

 

Eventhough this is quite a rare coin (Numista Rarity index: 82), I hope that someone can confirm that these coins also exist without a rotation error.

Also, I would love to know if anyone else has a scalloped or polygonal coin of any type with such a perfect rotation error, or else wether such cases have been reported before.

Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.
