<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2848982, member: 19463&quot;]This comes up on several coins because there is no complete agreement on what makes a side an obverse and what makes it a reverse.&nbsp; Technical people will tell you that the obverse was on the bottom when struck with the reverse above.&nbsp; Some will mention that this last feature is hard to tell from coins struck with pincher dies.&nbsp; Some will say the most important side is the obverse and Christ outranks St. Mark and the Doge so it does not matter what other factors you consider.&nbsp; My answer, &quot;It doesn&#039;t matter to me as this is a nice coin.&quot; My example is a different doge (Raineri Zeno 1253- 1268 AD) but similar otherwise.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]675706[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
