OVERSTRIKES ERROR JOHOR GOLD KUPANG

Johor Gold Kupang Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah II (1528-1564) With Overstrike Error.
Rarity:RRRR
Overstrikes Error are coins that have been struck over a struck coin.
An overstrike occurs when an existing coin is used as the planchet for a new coin without completely removing the features of the older coin. Thus, it is sometimes possible to identify the older coin because its features can be detected beneath the design of the newer coin. 
This is a very rare piece,considerable definition from the undertype is still readily evident on both sides of this dramatic piece.

Most of the remaining design elements from former struck are still clearly visible.

Thank you Tuan Haji for sharing.
