[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 19612040, member: 110226"]Thanks. That's a possibility. In my experience the characters, unless they are countermarks, tend to occur individually, possibly to denote a city of origin, such as Gaza, or a mint worker marking a die for another purpose, such as showing authorization for the coin to legally circulate within a certain area, or signifying that the metal content meets an official standard, sort of like an assayer mark on a Spanish colonial or mainland cob. These are just guesses on my part.[/QUOTE]
