Commentary
Cet exemplaire présente une particularité très inhabituelle : au droit, une sorte de cercle de velours apparait. Il ne s’agit pas d’une usure du coin mais d’une frappe à une telle cadence que le coin chauffe au point d’arracher à chaque passage une fraction microscopique de la surface, créant ce halo.
This example has a very unusual feature: on the obverse, a sort of velvet circle appears. This is not a wear on the die but a result of striking at such a rate that the die heats up to the point of tearing off a microscopic fraction of the surface with each pass, creating this halo.
