1915 Shed Job?

[Fulvio]

Given the recent discussion about whether coins can get crushed together in the press, or only in a shed, lets see what you make of this.

I've been working on a friend for a while now, trying to infect him with the coin bug. So I dropped over with a few recent finds to show off. During the ensuing discussion he mentioned he had a tin of old coins his grandfather had left him. He dragged them out, and we had a bit of a look. Nothing too flash, a couple of foreign coins, mostly very worn and pedestrian old copper.

And this:




The thing I find interesting is how the incused letters appear to be on the field, but not across the high spots, other than on the N and E. As for the Obverse, I have no idea what to make of it at all.

Ideas?

Apologies for the crappy pics. All I had was my iPod to take them with.

It could be a "mint Sport" coin :ok:
As you say the incused letters are "Under" the other letters.

Robbie's practice as resizing & I upped the contrast a tad
