Nice die clash on this one, I'm not positive what else happened though.

The inner rim has 3-4 non-concentric segments, the center hole isn't centered, and certain features of the reverse continue onto the rim.

MAD strike and die cracks?

Edit: Looking at it more, there was definitely some rotation during the clash. It appears the right star is missing its date code as well, I'm thinking the clash filled the details.

Yep, I see the clashes!
It's also a nice-looking design coin!

Thank you, both!

CoinForMe, I agree, it is my favorite Spanish type (that I own).

Excellent die clash

Is there any chance that you can read the 2 digit date on the second star (by the "A" of Espana)?
the date on the obverse is the date that this coin series were commissioned and the stars on the reverse are the minted date. (you can easily see 19 on the first star)

Thanks, Dearborn!

The 19 in the left star is clear as day:

1949-Spain---50-Centimos-W/Strong-Die-Clash+


...but the right star doesn't look like it ever had anything, I think the clash filled the incuse void

Thanks, jbuck. The coin scope is nice and all, but sometimes it just can't beat a camera thru a loupe

yup, I agree that the crucial date star is completely unreadable. That happens from time to time. But excellent images of trying to see it.
