Good Very Fine. Pleasing old collection tone. An excellent example of die-clash.
From the Andrew McCabe Collection;
Ex Naville Numismatics Ltd 7, 11 May 2014, lot 117.
Seen on the obverse of this piece is a clear example of die clash, with the reversed and incuse letters AED C before the chin being a reflection of AED CVR on the reverse. A die clash between two incuse-engraved dies produces a raised feature on the damaged die and thus an incuse and reversed image on the as-struck coin. Rarely do die clashes come so clear.
