Die Debris?

[Colin G. 147]

Anyone have any suggestions for how this happened? I am thinking maybe some part of a filled letter in a die has dropped out onto the die, which has resulted in the strange "R" in VICTORIA.

Debris?

It could be a struck through fragment error. Where a small piece of metal fragment has been struck onto the planchet and merged with the coin.

Is the error incuse or raised? If its incuse it could be a struck through fragment if its raised then it could be a die cud.

A cud is a damaged area of the coin. It looks like a blob on the coin which and is raised above the field a little caused from a chip in the die. Similar to a die crack or cracked die error.

Thats what I meant, but your language skills are obviously better than mine
