<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 3663697, member: 96635&quot;]Here a coin with a quite off center incuse punch. I am quite surprised about this, wasn&#039;t the incuse mark created by the punch which was struck to force the blank into the obverse die? If the incuse punch is off center it would create much more force on one side of the coin, but on this example the obverse looks nicely and evenly struck. No idea, perhaps because the coin is so small that a off center punch wouldn&#039;t matter.</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/NUdXHGE.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Byzantion, Thrace ½ Siglos (340–320 B.C.)</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> Heifer standing left on dolphin left, ΠY above.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> Incuse punch of mill-sail pattern.</p><p><b>Reference:</b> SNG BM Black Sea 36–41; SNG Stancomb 14; SNG Copenhagen 478–9.</p><p><b>Weight:</b> 2.06g</p><p><b>Size:</b> 13mm[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
