Am I correct that the above Ferdinand and Isabella Blanca is Toledo
mint? Compared to others of the
type I've seen (very few) the
area under the Y is different. I have seen tails going the other way and in both directions but not like this. Is there confusion here due to double striking or just the
poor strike or is there something else here I am not understanding.
Few of these coins have much of the edge
legend but you regularly see the legends quoted the same. Did most dies share the exact spellings and the oddities we see were due to striking problems or was there a lot of variation in spellings and
abbreviations?
Is there anything on this series that allows dating closer than the reign?
Thanks.
