1676 halfcrown

Obv. GRATIA is very weak and there is an old scratch across the top of Charles's head.

Rev. Legend and date clear. 

  

The R of BR is probably over a G (as it was the LAST letter of the previous word). It fits perfectly.

Note that the alignment of letters is done from the top of the letters and not the base.

The G in MAG - the base is well below the base alignment.

It is definitely NOT a die flaw and the upward spike above the foot of the R is sharp.

This is a newly recorded variety.

Pity the coin  is not in better condition but the variety is clear !
