Comments

The original from which the copies were made can be seen on my site at http://www.rpcoins.co.uk/c2%20pics/01874.jpg I also wrote an article in Spink's Numismatic Circular for May 2011. The main identifier is the V shaped notch at 6pm where there is missing metal from the obverse half of the copy. The original has a depression at this point and the mould would have needed to be too deep (leading to a very thick copy). The reverse is also very characteristically double struck.
