Obverse 63 is identified by date placement at center of denticle and date repunching that features initial date impressions located to the south below the serif and base of the 1 digit. Obverse 63 is observed with die lines among 'ST(ATES)'.

Reverse AAK has yet to be observed with any die markers.

Comments: The date repunching of Obverse 63 is negligible and will require the use of a microscope, rather than a loupe, to view the initial date impressions.

Variety 58 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during late September 2025 for inclusion in this book based on the date repunching of Obverse 63.
