THAILAND HUB & DIE TRIAL STRUCKS COINS
Thailand Hub & Die Trial Strucks.
Rarity:RRRR
Traditionally,only pattern specialists pursued hub and die trials.Beginning in the late 1990s,however,there have been increased in demand for these pieces among error coin specialists who feel that these pieces would fit nicely into their collections due to their exotic appearance and the unusual circumstances under which they were produced.

Hub and Die Trials are often struck in metals other than those intended for regular-issue coinage.Softer metals such as copper,copper-nickel, pewter,brass,tin and lead have often been used in the creation of hub and die trials,and there are some pieces known that were struck in cardboard or wax.
Die Trials are not easily encountered,yet,neither can they be classified as extreme rarities.Valuation of such items is most difficult venture.

Dear nuchatter & Mr.Sabri,
