Comments
KM#244.1 : reeded edge
The easiest way to distinguish the KM# 244.2 (large obverse) and the KM# 244.3 (small obverse):
Look at the lettering. With the large obverse the lettering is in the middle between the rim and the inner ring, with the small obverse the lettering is far from rim and close to the inner ring (see arrow).
