<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3057151, member: 75525&quot;]I am not aware of a die study of this issue. As I noted, it is a large issue. The coins were produced during the Social War in 91 - 88 BC. <a href="http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/wars_italian_social_war.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/wars_italian_social_war.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/wars_italian_social_war.html</a></p><p>I have not looked at all of the Crawford #s, but this is the largest issue I have noticed. L.PISO.FRVGI, 91 BC, the moneyer I thought had the largest die count only had 864. I assume there is more than one die per symbol because the die estimate is much higher than the symbol list. </p><p>It is interesting that two BM references show coins with reverse symbols and neither mention the symbol. Pics from BMCRR below show the description and picture of the coin with a reverse symbol. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]766193[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]766194[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]766195[/ATTACH] </p><p>BMCRR calls the obverse symbol L I-dot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
