Spot the mint mark - 1919 Ceylon 50 Cents KM#109a [opgelost]

According to Krause this year should have a B mint mark but I can't find it. Do I need to go to Specsavers and get some new glasses?

that's the B mint mark Roy. On Indian coins of the time it was usually a dot too :)

​Happy New Year Mark.
Normally if the mint mark is a Dot the Krause shows it as (B) or (b). What I find confusing is that I have a 1924 coin with a Dot on it but Krause does not show it as 1924B. Is this just another Krause inconsistency?

Happy new year to you too Roy.
How strange, I don't have my book to hand right now maybe I'll have to do some digging. I've not seen B mintmark on any other coins than the British trade dollar though :S I'll be back in touch later about it :)​

Thinking about it more Roy, i wonder if it was or was intended to be minted in more than one place and that's why the first few years specify B.

The 'B' mint mark is incused on the crown

​That's a real doozy of a coin, Roy. I love the early 20th c. colonials and that is a beautiful example.

​awesome place too put it I was looking on his body and the flowers ha ! Awesome piece !

Great
Thanks for all your help. I can see it on the 1919 coin and it isn't on the 1924 coin. So it looks as though Krause was correct after all!

​Thanks Parimal. I have added the illustration to the comments section in the catalogue and await validation.
(I do need to get new specs to spot it!)

Roy, can't you collect 'normal' coins ?

​I get great pleasure out of all the coins I handle. (Normal or otherwise)

Have a great new year

Roy

Roy, that is the real spirit for collecting!
It gives me pleasure to find all possible information on 'older' coins.
I learned a lot about culture, politics, kings rulers....

I hope this year will bring you a lot of interesting coins!
