4218 The first line of the description should read revalued from 10 Bitts. The footnote in the catalogue should read: “Research by Bob Lyall (SNC December 2007 and February 2008) identifies Gibraltar as the origin for these coins with heart-shaped holes that are now identified as the Type I piercing.
