Hey Joe,
This is the variety that has always perplexed me. It is Variety 29 from the Bellinger/Grierson table of
Class A Anonymous Folles.
Every example I have seen of this variety has a similar crude
style that seems closer to the
contemporary imitations of the day than to other varieties of
Class A. I have includes photos of recent sales of Variety 29 on this post - which seem similar to the one you posted.
I suspect that either 1) all of this variety are imitations, so they should be excluded from the table, 2) they all came from a
provincial mint, or 3) they are genuine, just different (perhaps the
good die engraver was absent/sick/died during this production phase and finding
good substitutes proved hard).
Just my 2 cents (or 2 folles).
Kevin
