These coins were struck on rounded dies, half at a time. On this coin when it was repositioned to strike the other half it must have moved and the result was half the coin was struck off center.   Manuel I 1143-1180 MP-OV Virgin Mary enthroned still has some silvering. Sear 1964 |

Here is another Manuel I Sear #1966 with a die makers error. The obverse is Christ enthroned and should read IC-XC Greek for Jesus Christ. This one however reads XC-XC Christ-Christ. I have to look through the rest of these for more errors.   |

The second error is really neat also. It looks like the obverse 5 oclock pealed off and was pushed back on during the striking process. Interesting!
