While I thank-you very much for taking the time to respond, I note that the 'spokes' of the incuse punch on the reverse do NOT meet in the middle as all of the reverses in your suggestions do.

This worries me when trying to 'match' the coin.

Has anyone come across a coin where the 'spokes' in the reverse punch are 'offset'?

This is it, because the reverse has a double struck

moneta_auction, I think you have it!!!!

I don't know how you came up with it so quickly, as I have spent ages combing through reference material trying to find it.

Thank-you.
