Thank you, friends.
The photo provided by Pekka is particularly telling. My coin appears to be identical to it.
Hence, Joe may be correct. The coin is in the BM, apparently, so if it is the "host coin," who else but the BM would have access to it to make a
cast impression? The coin might be very well an
electrotype....and made by the BM. Speculation, yes, but I am unaware of other
electrotype makers, especially who would have access to this BM example.
Pekka, I cannot see differences in the reverses, but with my old eyes.....
Did the BM make
cast copies?
Comments?
Thanks again!!!
