it's a private security company GS from overseas here's a wiki on it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosegur
Operations[edit]
Prosegur operates in three service lines: technology, cash management solutions, and surveillance. Their operations encompass cash in transit, home security monitoring, manned guarding, fire protection, and security installation.

Global Presence[edit]
Prosegur operates in 17 countries globally.[1] Prosegur's entry into new markets and subsequent expansion has often been through acquisition.[4] Its operations grew initially through Spain, Portugal and Latin America, but have since expanded to other parts of Europe and Asia.

In 2013, Prosegur entered the Australian market with the acquisition of the second largest cash-in-transit business in the country, the Australian division of Chubb Security for A$145 million (€95 million)[5]

Prosegur holds a market leading position in many of the countries in which it operates, including Spain, Brazil and Germany.

Is this a result of wire (or some other foreign body) at the time of minting or just PMD? The gullies look smooth.

Can't make out what part of the coin the 2nd & 3rd images are of, and with the 1st image a couple shots taken on an angle might help with ID'ing the problem.

[Pedro]

OK Nancy will try again and see if I can get some clearer shots.

Have tried some more shots but with my USB I can't seem to get close-ups but hopefully the angles used can give a bit better perspective.

There are a couple of large divots which are marked on one of the photos. If it is something on the die it doesn't look like wire given the forking.

The channel that is where the Queen's mouth is looks smooth.

not knowing but I'd say yes to wire and a nice face melt as well, nice find Pedro :good:

[Nevol]

It appears as though the lips part of the die may have picked up some crud.  Filled die maybe. Possibly struck through grease or struck through wire.

With the different images, it doesn't look like they're all of the same coin,  but I can tell it is from the other marks etc.  :dontknow:

[Pedro]

Thanks Nancy and AJ for the feedback.

I tried a few different angles and the way the light fell it threw up a few different faults that weren't as obvious from the straight on shots.
