This 1957 5 Pitas from Spain was heavily clashed, so much so, full letter transfer occured on reverse, with the 19, dot, and FRANC(ISCO) incused in the metal...obverse has a large raised shelf in opposing clash area(I'm sure Coop would find an overlay for this, and show the areas clashed)..other interesting features are a partial collar, and denticle indentations obverse, not sure if from clashing, or the collar issue...of ALL the coins I search, USA or World, this one ranks so far as the best letter-transfer clashed specimen found to date.

I have also found clashes on the 5 Pestas from Spain. If found a photo of one that I have. You can see the clashed die above the 5 without even zooming in.

This series also has lots of die cracks if you look for them.
