    Got this 'unidentified' coin from eBay mainly for it's weird strike, most double struck coins I've seen had the images on top of each other, also mostly on the same side, however on this coin it looks like as if the hammer had two or more sets of die to strike two or more blanks at a time, and when this oblong flan was was stuck, it got in the middle and the images on both sides overlapped. As you can see on the obverse the border dots and the head reappearing, and on the reverse the head of the eagle appearing on the left.

    What do you guys think about this wild idea?

    Interesting. Your hypothesis sounds as good as anything I can imagine.
