 Overstriking  happened frequently in the Pre British Medieval and Ancient India when one King after defeating the Other King would Over Strike the Defeated Kingdom's Coins ( Instead of Melting and Re Striking ) This Doublestrike trike was a Cheaper and a Quicker Way. Numismatic Experts can decipher the Details of Both The Old Coin and the New Coin.

Double Struck Silver Rupee Coins are very very rare ( struck after a successful military campaign ).
