    A double strike, with an indent on the second strike.

    Thanks Mike. Believe it or not, that was my guess, but the size of the VOS threw me off. Why is VOS in the indent so much larger than the other letters?

    The letters "VOS" (from CENTAVOS) represent flattened, expanded first-strike elements. It's a typical effect.
