Peru : 1/2 Sol 1971 - Crack

Hi,

As you can see there is a spit on "Sol" by a llama

My question is about the reverse... is the word "RESERVA" is a strike error or an after mint damage?

Thank you!

Reserva is just from a weak strike

 

Thank you Billyray!

 

I like the design of that coin. Never seen one before. I think that lettering is obliterated due to grease, water or some kind of crud clogging the die. These strike thrus are often seen on 2 cent pieces and sometimes on the early Indian Cents.

 

Hi 2CentRick,

Yes this coin is very beautiful, and spit on "Sol" by the llama add something different :smile

Thank you!
