Don't many of these have legend errors?  I couldn't find it in my quick look through Hendin.

The consignor said Hendin 1137 but that can't be right. It does not have wedge style script.

I think it is most similar to Hendin 1139 or Hendin 1140, but I have not found an example that is close enough for me to feel certain.

The main difference between 1137 and others is ROSH in the legend. I think this coin has  it.

Most of these have script errors and ommissions; every die abbreviated the legend and arranges the lettering differently. I think it's Meshorer type I, more like the I5 script. but I'm not certain.
