SS C in angles. Oddities abound as shown in 1200 dpi blowups: Doubling of the O (upper left) and VS (upper right) in GEORGIVS. Retooling of HIB REX F D (middle left)? Looks as if those letters are on a band different than the rest of the coin surface. Several areas of raised metal on the coin surface in dots or streaks, both on the obverse near F D (middle right) and the reverse along S R I A TH (lower left). Obliteration of 9:00 crown (lower right) which may or may not have occurred during the minting process.
