Comment
See the documentation for the 12 22.2 grs coins. For later coins after 1955, the engraver/sculptor V. Murolo was included on the coins with an M in a circle. He was not on any original coin of 1955. This must be one of the later coins, as not even the creator of the series Remo Cademartori (R.C.) is on the obverse. He is on all the obverse photos of the coins on Numista.Also, Inter-Change Bank, as issuing entity does not show on the coin anymore. Pls compare with the earlier coin of the same Cacique GUAICAIPURO, also on Numista.
