    Now this is odd

    I've seen letters turned backwards because they're a part of a clash.
    This is a first seeing it side right. The arrow points out a possible second letter. Nothing else shows on the coin.
    Someone trying something new to make money?

      Certainly looks clear in the picture. Looks better than the ones I see on the obverse! Maybe that's a clue?

              It certainly looks like a slightly rotated clash- is it similar in appearance to this Aisha?

                      Pretty neat clash Chris.
                      Aisha, I hope yours is a clash as well.

                          I'm not showing off my coins- these are all images of coins long gone. I don't try to steal anyone's thunder, and Aisha deserves some thunder!

                          I used the photos to illustrate the error type- that's what it looks like to me, is a clash. BUT- Jason and a few others are really going to be the authority on those.

                          Also Aisha- I was wondering if the "E" is slightly raised as it would be on a clash, or if it's an incuse E, as a dropped letter would be. What say you?

                                  I agree, a tad rotated and a tad misaligned. I like the clarity of the letters. Nice pictures Chris and nice find Aisha!

                                  Below is not oriented the same, but does show the normal location for YTREBIL:

                                          Ooooh! Silly me. I didn't think the "E" would be upside down. DUH!
                                          Great pics and example Chris. You're the man.
