In this case, the resulting disk should have a convenient white margin,
because clay is not transparent, so there is no way of putting the second
mould exactly in the correct position.

On the contrary, in both faces, the signs of the outer circles are very
close to the edge. The disk is not perfectly circular, still the signs seem
to "follow" the edge, on *both* faces.
