This coin has a very fortuitously placed “Stannard gouge” or al-marco weight adjustment gouge that avoids both the wreath and the galley! See http://www.stannard.info/website/Publications.html for Clive Stannard's articles about the adjustment al-marco of the weight of Roman Republican denarius blanks by gouging. [A. McCabe]
