different reverse same obverse suggest not a single mint / die so it was more common or semi official?

[Joe Sermarini]

The think CNG coin is also a fouree ancient counterfeit and was described in error. I believe you can see the core in breaks, and an area in the reverse left field where the plating is lifted by AE corrosion below.

thank you, i think you are right.

Best,
