RIC V.4 509. Double struck and the reverse struck from a worn die, otherwise, very fine.


A double strike such as this occurs when, after the first clean impression, the coin is not fully removed from the anvil die and is accidentally struck a second time, noticeably off-centered. In this case, only the second impression of the obverse die is visible, while the off centered blow on the reverse left no discernible details except for the circular edge of the reverse die.
