    I am trying to pin down a reference for this coin, but I am not sure of the Monogram on the right of the reverse, can anyone help please?

    I think reading the monograms on these are easier if you turn the coin one-quarter turn so that the club is up and down and the monogram is on the bottom. Even so, I am having trouble reading it.

    Yeah, me neither. However, someone who knows this issue better than I will probably be able to give better insight. Sorry.

    After having a good look around, people just seem to refer to "monogram below", so I should probably do the same :happy:

    i don't know pish. :depressed:

    i have a low quality example of the type, i believe mine has a monogram on the obverse ..see the two lines coming off the back of the mid-neck? not in the best shape, so not certain.
