I have both the $2.50 and $5 Bella Lyon Pratt Incused Indian coins (Both AU 1913 issue). Amusing that one of the “objections” was that germs and bacteria could get down into the design and be a health risk. Many don’t understand the term incused, or relief for that matter. I suspect since we only had those two incused coins it just wasn’t a contrast that people thought about.

  Man I thought this one was hammered at least compared to others I’ve seen. Ie. the reverse details are washed out looking but the relief is high.

  I see what you did there. Took me a minute to find the “read more” button as I just found out I am color blind today… the diagnosis came completely out of the purple.
