Comments
The difference between "large" coat of arms (KM# 247) and "small" (KM# 260) in the 1973 mintage is very hard to see in the naked eye. A better clue is to check the size of the letters, where big letters (small space between the text and the edge) would mean "large coat of arms", and vice versa.
