    That's pretty cool! It reminds me sort of a modern coin flip over double strike.

    Überprägung - Overstrike
    spuren - trace (of something)

    Thanks- thats is what I figure but not a linguist or expert. As a boy collecting USA coins before smitten by the ancients I had a whole collection of error USA coins- just by searching in rolls and change etc.
