By the way, I saw that gorgeous Baroque gold coin of Pope Clement XI (1717), posted five days ago by @panzerman. There is an 'H' under the bust of the pope, I'm sure this coin was engraved by Ottone Hamerani of the Hamerani dynasty of Papal engravers.

1919 GB florin

 

Still on repeated double digits? Here is 1717 Threepence:

 

Is there a name for that area of the denticles on the reverse 8 to 9 o'clock position? Referring to the 1717 3 pence above.

 

1919 GB 3 pence

 

I don't know of a specific name - I would suggest it was caused by a section of the die rim breaking off.

 

There is something called a "cud", not the kind the cow chews, something on a coin. I have one somewhere with a buggered rim like yours, sort of. Was that 1717 3 pence made on a screw press? I recall that type being used in the Netherlands about the same time.
