Front: Kopf des Maxentius nach r.

Pierced: Intentional hole(s) pierced through a coin so that it can be worn on a neclace, sewn onto textiles, etc. In case of paper money such a perforation often indicates devaluation.
Field smoothed: The field of a coin or medal has secondarily been fully or partly deepened in order to improve the relief of the legend or image. This procedure occurs especially with collectors' objects and is not part of the working process of a mint. Not to be confused with the re-cutting of parts of the design or legend on a coin, or the erasure of elements of them.
Engraved: An engraving was applied to a pre-existing numismatic object as a secondary treatment. Not to be confused with the method of production of the same name.
