[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 7461548, member: 84905"]I think this is MIB 24. Hahn mentioned the emission with only one star in the left field and says that the star is usually 8-pointed like on the solidi. A rarer variant (such as yours) shows a 6-pointed star. Hahn also writes that these pre-512 coins are often (20% and always on the reverse) countermarked. The countermarks were probably applied in the course of the reform of 512, when private money exchangers revalued the coins to the new standard. The rare reverse and the countermark make this an especially interesting coin.[/QUOTE]
