The marks on this coin are peculiar; as they are all full size and appear to be all of the nature of obverse marks, and are deeply punched into the coin in the manner of marks on the obverse. They are punched indiscriminately over each other. Only one mark, the nine-petalled flower, is intact. It would appear that this coin may have been used as a test for trying various punches. The marks on the obverse of this coin, on the other hand, are more lightly punched than those on the reverse. |
