That is a beautiful coin. It looks like it was struck with another one stuck to it.

You can see a mirror image of the legend, DEI, under the GRATIA. This coin may have been struck by a capped coin, forming a brockage, then struck again, normally, without a cap...

Looks double struck. DEI does not appear to be mirror. Need pics of both (whole) sides.

Quit playing Angry Birds and look closer nickelsguy, at the lettering underneath GRA of GRATIA.... under the TIA of GRATIA is the II of ELIZABETH II... The problem is that the photo and the lighting is somewhat tricky, so I cannot tell from those photos if those mirror elements are raised or sunk into the surface of the coin - if the latter, than a sandwich coin is suspect ( PMD)... the more I look at those photos, the more I convince myself it is an Estwing Hammer special...
