I've been trying for a long time but haven't been able to match it up with anything. Will appreciate any help with this. Report this Post to the Staff

The obverse matches pretty well to those pieces, but the only explanation I have for the reverse being different is that the reverse is off-struck. If you turn that last picture ninety degrees clockwise, the bottom line and dots match up with the example found here. And with the coin so off-struck, the date is not visible.

Considering that, and a different die pair from the coin in the photo in the World Coin Price Guide so some variability in lettering, that explains it. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
