As you can see by the timestamps, I've been meaning to share this one for a while now. Thank you, geraltttt82, for the motivation. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has one to share, I find this type fascinating  I hadn't thought to get a photo of the edge at the time, I'll dig it out and add another photo when I'm able. Full "20 Centesimi" visible on the obverse, and a decent amount of the wreath and crown visible on the reverse. Partially reeded, though not currently pictured, edge.    |

Excellent example, MintedNotPrinted! Here's my best one.   Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Thank you, Hondo. I love the 90 degree orientation of the overstruck, and very visible, 20 on yours! Thanks for posting it  |

Here another one from me.. Not that good as the one in the other thread.. But this one has a good readable date 1894 (if you find the "8" in the 0 from the 20, you can see it clearly..)  On the other side is quit some bit of the donor coin visible.. The "20" partial, but the letters are pretty good visible..  Here below another one with very strong visible letters.. Unfortunately on the back almost nothing..  |

Sander, thank you for sharing! That 8 is very visible, and the variation between examples is what I find so intriguing about these, very cool |

I love buying coins per kilogram and searching for this kind of varieties, doubled dies, etc.. Another one, and much harder to find good examples are the overstruck Austrian zinc Groschen, a lot of them are struck over the German Reichspfennig after the 2nd World war.. I have better ones somewhere, but just here as an example, and the awareness to look for..    |
