I mean the die was possibly made directly from from a real coin. You could then use the die from the real coin to strike another coin in a different denomination. Sometimes the original coin was missing something (like the rest of the dotted border was off flan) and that absence is clear on the struck fake coin. That may be what happened here.

Very true. Drachmae can be up to 18 mm which would account for the excess space on the flans. Thank you!
