Peckris Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 What do you think? There is also "I" over something My guess is that the die suffered wear (or broke) on the "I" in GRATIA, and was repunched. The T may also have been repunched. Difficult to say about the G - it's possibly G over G? The G in GEORGIUS is an interesting distance from the other letters. Quote
Voynov_BG Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 Yes, You are right. Also second "G" in "Georgius" is very similar to "G" in "Gratia". Maybe both are repunched... Quote

Difficult to say about the G - it's possibly G over G? The G in GEORGIUS is an interesting distance from the other letters.The first "G" in "Georgius" is normally spaced like that on George IV farthings. The overstrike is interesting but not unexpected given the plethora of them in the George IV series. I've come across quite a few which aren't recorded. Quote
Voynov_BG Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 Thanks for the help , I accept that this is not "G" over "O" variety recorded on "Collectors` coins GB". Quote
