Hey all! I found this neat coin dated 1666. I know older coins have more errors, particularly those that are hand struck. I thought it was just a blob at first, but I looked closer and it's the forefront of the horse and a second die mark. Pretty neat! What I can't tell is if it's double Struck or if another coin got in the middle. Can you tell? Thanks!

Appears to be double struck - which is actually quite common on these. If you want to know it's a Polish-Lithuanian copper szeląg coin - most often called "boratynka" :)
