- The image date on commons says 1798, but the note says 1799 (twice; once in numerals at the top and once handwritten at the end). Belle (talk) 22:01, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- It's actually series of 1798-1799 (per numismatic reference books). The original printed date of 1798 has had the last digit (8) overwritten by a 9 and the specific vignettes are attributed to the 98-99 series.--Godot13 (talk) 22:42, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- I guess that means printed in 1798 and issued in 1799? Support Belle (talk) 22:48, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- They probably started issuing the specific design in 1798 and instead of changing it for 1799, the reused the prior year and overwrote the date.--Godot13 (talk) 16:24, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

- Curiousity rears its head: Why is there a semicircular cut at the edge? Any significance should be mentioned in the caption.... --Janke | Talk 06:32, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
