| RemarksRemarks:
|
"Traces of overstriking and with a flan fault on the reverse, otherwise, nearly very fine. From a European collection, formed before 2005. This coin is a so-called flip-over double strike, meaning that the flan was not removed between two strikes but flipped over" (nb: apparently not a doubke strike but really an overstrike)
