[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 8128372, member: 83845"]I also found the use of Latin letters in most of the interpretations I’ve seen to be strange. Only the BA interpretation uses Greek letters but I don’t see the A as very convincing. Your P Y interpretation looks very good! I have not seen that anywhere. I looked to see if it could be a mintmark for any of the cities on the Black Sea but nothing comes to mind. More thought needed. :D Edit to add: I think you might really be on to something here TIF. In my example the P looks very distinct from where you have drawn the Y. There is a clear depth change in the engraving where the upper left part of the Y meets the bottom loop of the P. Thanks [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER][/QUOTE]
