[QUOTE="catadc, post: 8080479, member: 103515"][USER=95174]@BenSi[/USER] already knows my opinion, but I will detail, as the subject became public. The obverse does show minimal care.

The cross goes through the top step, which is unusual for the type. On the reverse, the body of Manuel seems more narrow than on the other coins I see online. For this, I take the width of the body vs the diameter of the die. Last, the diameter of the die is irregular, but this is not a critical factor.
