This die pairing of L. Mildenberg's obverse die O1, which has now been recut, and reverse die R7, is unpublished in the die study, but a specimen is plated in J. Chaim Kaufman's "Additions to the Corpus of Leo Mildenberg" appearing in "INJ 14." The existence of this coin proves that the recutting of the obverse was done before the die combination of Mild 27, which is dated "year 2." Thus, this coin was minted directly before the new dies proclaiming "year 2" were manufactured.
