Good call Pekka.

That is a very interesting coin Juan. 

The flan has two small extensions at 12h and 6h that appear to be casting spurs.

That means that the flan was made that size and not cut down.

It was grossly undersized for a 10 nummies coin.  Was it a flan for a 5 nummies coins used by accident or as in a shortage??
