Can not align with any features on the king's side. Stitched a few images to give you as much of clash marks I see. I tried to sketch the outlines of clash marks I see.

I am tempted to guess it is something else than a die clash

Photos are too confusing. Full coin pic front and back along with a simple overlay.

Agree give us full pictures of both side of the coin.
Looks like the die clash associated with some half moon coins of the same year but need full pictures.

Cheers Bill

Yes this is a die clash.
First one I've seen with just a clash on the bottom.
The clash is of the jaw, chin and back of the neck.
Here's one like yours but with the half moon also.

Cheers, Bill

Thank you Bill but it is the other clash marks that do not line up!

I will theorize that there are 3 errors, the common die clash as you have pointed out Bill, die damage on the right side affecting the inside of the leaf, and I will guess for the remaining one (indicated in images below) Die doubling.
