Just been studying this error coin from the Spanish Netherlands I recently bought in a large lot at auction, and seems to be an intriguing error.

The 'host' coin is a nice grade Charles VI (the holy roman Emperor) 1714 Liard from Brabrant, Spanish Netherlands. Then fairly lightly struck over the top, about 40% off centre is the design of an earlier Brabrant Liard coin, in the name of Charles II of Spain - a coin design used between 15 and 24 years earlier. So it looks like an earlier coin die gone out of use has been partially over struck on a newer coin.

Seems like an interesting piece and perhaps unique for the type - a 1714 Brabrant liard is a fairly scarce coin anyway. Has anyone encountered a coin like this before? Would it have any impact on the value?

I'll get pictures up asap in the morning! (about 12 hours)

Okay, speaking as a complete novice here: are you sure that the older design is the second rather than the first strike? The way you describe it sounds a lot like the newer design was actually struck on the older one rather than vice versa, which is of course much more realistic (for one, I've never heard of overstrikes where the original design is stronger than the second one - it's pretty much always the other way around).

Also, you misspelled Brabant :-)
