I recently acquired this interesting coin from a souk in Morocco and paid 240 Dirhams (~$28) for it. Upon close examination, I observed several interesting features on the reverse, including what appears to be substantial re-punching (possibly doubling?) and what appears to me to be a four-pointed star mintmark superimposed above a six-pointed star mint mark. Particularly interesting are the 3-legged R in "Reina", as well as the N which appears completely disjointed. There are also some interesting effects in the "20 Reales" and "Las Espanas" including a very pronounced doubled A in "Las." It appears at times that the doubling includes both a thin and fat version of the letter, which makes me suspect repunching (see especialyl the P in "Espanas"). I would be very interested in your thoughts on the coin in general, what is causing these interesting effects on the reverse and if this really could be a coin with both a four-pointed and six-pointed mint mark? It does weigh only 23.77g, which seems to be a bit light although it is a circulated coin. Are there any other potential red flags here?
Didn't I just see this in the error section? Lol. This coin is a cast copy, and appears to be of modern manufacture.
Yup, posted here originally, but then seemed more appropriate for the error section. I'd delete this thread if I could... (moderator, please feel free to get rid of this thread)
