<p>[QUOTE="Gil-galad, post: 2080533, member: 44154"]All if not most ancient coins were made by hand. Most likely, the flans were poured in a mold and if that mold was not constructed properly, then the flan could be lopsided after pouring the metal. Also, after the flan was heated or even cold struck, a hammer hitting the die on top of the coin could also flatten the flan or make it uneven. There may be other reasons to speculate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
