Looks like RIC#195 reverse is paired with another obverse, but it might be in RIC under another year.
Sear[ME] doesn't have that combination either.

RIC #87?
I have to say, and maybe it's just the wear, but the proportions of the reverse figure look "wrong" to me.
Maybe it's been tooled?

echizento / Sap- Why dont you PM Martin. He would know he specializes in this particular ruler.
I also think the coin looks perfectly fine.

Sap:
I am suspecting that the style of the reverse is a product of a die cutter in the early stages of learning his craft.

It is genuine. I saw this example on Vcoins just a minute ago. Kinda looks like a die match  |
