Oops...1765 Corsica 4 soldi - backwards 4
![Blackhawk](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/authoricons/Icon_zigzag.jpg)
I got this 1765 4 soldi from Corsica today...take a look at the 4. I wonder if all of them are like this or if this was a mistake that was corrected on other dies? (Those are swords, by the way)

The guy in the portrait looks kind of African, doesn't he?

He is. A "moor's head" is the traditional badge of Corsica, and still appears on the flag of the territory.
There's nothing in Krause about a "backwards 4" variety, but they're not all like that; the illustration for this type in Krause (listed as KM/C# 7) is the same date (1765) and has a "normal 4".

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
