Bought this piece from a fellow CCF member a couple of weeks ago. Upon further investigation, I saw that on the right (between 3 o clock and 1 o clock) there was a die crack type of error on the wreath. Maybe a strike through wire? Any help would be much appreciated.
I'm sure it adds no value (even if it did, I'm keeping the coin. It's gorgeous!). But I just want to add to my knowledge.

Thank you!

My free opinion: Die break (crack).

looks more like a very minor die crack.

Minor die crack,
however I notice on the obverse inner field at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock, two tiny ridges (in relief on the coin), formed by impressed die damage.
