1679 Maundy 3d.  Rev. The repairer has made the mistake of attempting to repair

                                         REX and has done so under HIB instead !?

                                         The upright of the R is seen inside the left upright of the H

                                         The tail of the R is seen past the right upright of the H

                                         touching the base of the I of HIB.

                                         The "E" can be seen under the "I". The centre bar and the

                                          lower leg of the "E" are the most obvious.

                                         The "X" - the extreme right tips can be seen just to the 

                                         outside, top & bottom, of the "B".

                                         Quite an error !  Again an unlisted variety

* The obverse die to this variety normally has the GR of GRATIA - touching !

** The scan of HIB has been cleaned up to show the variety. For the actual "untouched" coin

    see the reverse scan - above. Which has a small edge flaw or pinched effect just between

    the B of HIB & R of REX. Also visible at edge between A & R of CAROLVS.
