Hi Ben,

I've had it a very long time. I think I found it at a coin show. (I used to attend them almost weekly).


Cheers,
Bill

That's amazing how so much central detail of the original strike was preserved. It looks like one of those royal marriage coins (I dont collect darkside much so don't really know what to respectfully call them). Thats a great coin. Do you know how common errors like this are on this type of coinage from this era?
