<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 2865276, member: 83175&quot;]Hi again, Doug.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to Crawford, the lizard on the obverse is associated with die numbers 209-284 (provisional range).&nbsp;&nbsp; BMCRR lists three with lizards.&nbsp;&nbsp; Two have number CCXXXII - one of these has the letter E, the other a T on the obverse.&nbsp;&nbsp; The third lizard coin has number CCLXXIII on the reverse and letter X.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, I&#039;m a little the wiser - when I get a chance, I&#039;ll search for Crepusia denarii with lizards and see if I can get a reverse die match.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s only one reverse die for each number and the obverse combination of letter + symbol also appears to be unique, but I can&#039;t tell which letter I have - it might be an X, but there are probably other letters which would also fit.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe this is a useful project!</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT - I knew that there was at least one paper on these somewhere and found Ted Buttrey&#039;s paper in ANSMN 1976 on JSTOR - <a href="http://www.jstor.org/stable/43566280" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jstor.org/stable/43566280" rel="nofollow">http://www.jstor.org/stable/43566280</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is a page from it covering the lizard symbol and reverse die numbers -</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]683454[/ATTACH]</p><p>So, I&#039;ll have a read of that and see if I can find pics of some of these - it narrows the search a bit!&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, enough off-topic stuff for this thread!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
