[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 3622824, member: 100731"]In my limited knowledge, this is the effect of a hot (silver in this case) flan being striken with great force, resulting in so called 'flow marks'. I suspect this not being the case with the very thin hammered coins, as there is not that much metal. Flow marks are considered a sign of genuity. However, it is of course possible to strike a coin yourself, which may also result in flow marks.[/QUOTE]
