Here is a coin I forgot I had, and don't know to much about it. All I can find out about foreign coins is mistakes are commonly found on them.

Here we have a coin that shows what I think is considered doubling.

Obverse: seen along the edge below the bust, back of neck, below chin, and I would think above the head unless it's part of the design.

Reverse: seen around the edge design of the head of the angel fish, and at the gill, and below the bottom fin.

Any ideas as to what I may have here?

Wowser. Beyond my area of competence, but that's some significant doubling.

You might want to drop this thread into the World Coins forum; if you don't get much action here on the slow weekend, I'll move it there tomorrow for you, to get the weekday traffic. The World Coin forum is plenty active enough for you to get responses quickly.

Your coin has what looks like to me to be significant Mechanical Doubling.

Its common even on the US Nickels.

Just my opinion please wait for others to post their opinion also .

Seems like Mechanical Doubling to me too.
Understrike should be flat.

It looks to me like it might be die erosion. I have some 1964 nickels that have that same kind of doubling. Nickel is rough on dies...
