Reference: SC Ad 137 = Lanz 151, 30 Jun. 2011, 528,

The reverse is slightly double struck but the control is evidently not the leafy branch that was originally  recorded in SC. A sharper example is needed to determine what was intended. The apparent control may actually be a feature on the flan (an overstruck host coin?) rather than an intentional control cut into the die.
