Hi, friends, please see this coin - I think there are some images, maybe struck over another coin? Looks wreath (leaves) and other details.

Are this images common for this type coins?

Thanks. :)

It looks like clashed dies to me which happens when the two dies come together without a blank between them, so leaving an impression of either the obverse on the reverse die or vice-versa depending on which die was the harder of the two.

I think you are right, looks as leaves from reverse details in negative. So they maybe are thousands with similar efect.

Thanks for the help!
