Can anyone provide a reference for this "rough strike" as described by this seller? This is new to me. Is this an actual technical term?
thanks in advance for info.

This coin is from a series of experimental ruble dies used at Moscow from 1766 to 1768. In some catalogues
the dies are referred to as having a "coarse” portrait.
