sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 12:59 am No radial edge splits. My theory:- Hot struck flan, in perhaps the temperature paste range of the alloy. It is a large coin. Was struck like this to reduce the striking effort and preserve the dies. I would love to find out the lettering on the pedestal, on the reverse.
