<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Belisarius, post: 1341158, member: 21227&quot;]Note: I originally posted about this coin in the World &amp; Ancient Coins forum this morning, but on further reflection give the unique characteristics of the coin I decided it may be better suited for the Errors forum.&nbsp; </p><p>------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>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 &quot;Reina&quot;, as well as the N which appears completely disjointed. There are also some interesting effects in the &quot;20 Reales&quot; and &quot;Las Espanas&quot; including a very pronounced doubled A in &quot;Las.&quot; It appears at times that the doubling includes both a thin and fat version of the letter, which makes me suspect repunching (see especially the P in &quot;Espanas&quot;). 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 (Jubia) and six-pointed (Madrid) mint mark? It does weigh only 23.77g, which seems to be a bit light for this issue although it is a circulated coin. Are there any other potential red flags here?&nbsp; I am also very interested in your thoughts on what may have caused these interesting features.&nbsp; Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH]154328.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]154329.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]154330.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]154331.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
