This coin was struck with the same reverse die as ADM II 62b, which had a different control mark under the horses that was erased and re-engraved with the present control marks. Traces of the prior monogram are still visible. See also Heritage, 22 April 2010, lot 20013 for another example of this reverse die with the original control mark.
