The Confederate Dahlonega Dollar…1861-D - Fun Show Newp

[delta]

Can't anybody suggest an explanation for the clashmarks on the reverse of this 1861-D $1?

 

Please note that the wreath design directly beyond both ends of the word DOLLAR consists of what I guess are supposed to be stylized ears of corn, and the clashmarks unmistakably echo the leaves or bracts of that corn husk. How did those husk tracings get onto the middle of the reverse die so they could be imprinted into the fields of the coin's reverse?

 

Of course reverse side clashmarks typically represent inverted obverse die devices.

 

Or am I misinterpreting something here?
