This interesting issue combines the obverse of Bodenstedt emission 65 with the reverse of emission 56. While this may be a novel issue isolated from those, it may also be a hybrid or a new type that draws the two separate emissions together. At the moment, emissions 56 and 65 are placed in separate time periods, but this issue suggests they likely should both be in the same period.
