[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 7325204, member: 31620"]Oval flans can occur for a whole range of reasons. Here we have a coin that would have probably been round if not for an off-centre and uneven strike which causes the resulting shape..... If you look at the second image you can see where the increased pressure on one side, which is where all the detail is) results in a much thinner coin than on the remainder of the coin (lacking detail) which is much thicker.
