These spots are located on the eyelash, left of star 3, left of star 5, and hidden in the hair under star 8. The reverse is flawless. MDS with clear die clashmarks on both sides, and the ones on the reverse are quite prominent and are rotated 30 degrees clockwise from a normal head-to-foot die orientation.
