COINING TECHNOLOGY

  Mike Marotta writes: "The presentations on coining technology
  are always interesting.  On the matter of roller presses, I
  happen  to have several coins from the Malcontents Revolt.
  (My maternal grandparents were Hungarian.)  The smaller
  coins and the larger seem to be struck in the usual way.  The
  ten poltura, however, is obviously the result of being rolled.
  As noted, it does have flash from being cut after striking.
  Now, I have a question about what this says about "reverse"
  and "obverse." The cut is clearly from the side with the shield
  and date, and toward the side with the crest and legend."
