[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 2509310, member: 15445"]Me too. :) Here is a tet from Akragas which I think also has a retrograde N. This one is a little confusing because it is read clockwise and the first letters are upright & read left to right. The last letters are base-out and read left to right (I think). AKRA(C)-AИTOΣ (retrograde N) [ATTACH=full]533423[/ATTACH] [B]SICILY, Akragas. AR Tetradrachm. 472-420 B.C. 16.88 grams, 25 mm [B]Obv: [/B][/B]Crab as viewed from top [B][B]Rev:[/B] [/B]Eagle standing left with city name AKRA(C)-ANTOS (retrograde N) [B][B]Grade:[/B] [/B]aVF or nearly so including nice centering, ancient fabric & tone [B][B]Other:[/B] [/B]SNG.Cop.41, BMC 37 From Classical Ancient Coins 1/2016[/QUOTE]
