sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/20/2020 01:48 am I have a few struck cash coins, but none with this sort of error. Probably not worth a hugely significant amount of premium over a standard struck cash, with this error, but still definitely warrants inclusion in any collection of Chinese coins.

Well, part of the front casting, I believe; the back of the mold is sometimes misaligned. Here's a slightly but visibly misaligned one I have: I recently bought a particularly outrageous example where the back is so far off that about half of the inner square is visible, but I hadn't photographed it yet.
