<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4907168, member: 44316&quot;]I agree that the symbol on the coin in this post above:</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/beautiful-byzantines.352446/page-12#post-4879515" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/beautiful-byzantines.352446/page-12#post-4879515">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/beautiful-byzantines.352446/page-12#post-4879515</a></p><p>is a &quot;6&quot;, but it is not well-represented in the &quot;<b>Ч&quot; </b>typeface which is closer to a Byzantine &quot;5&quot;<b>. </b>For example, here is a 5-nummia of Tiberius II, Sear 483.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1184095[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Ч</b> for 5 and the symbol for 6 are similar. When the left side of the <b>Ч</b>-ish symbol is longer and bends over to the right it becomes a &quot;6&quot;. See the example next for year 8 (=6 + 2) under Maurice. Sear 494.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1184091[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone has a font in which that symbol for &quot;6&quot; is well-represented, please put that symbol in this thread so we can copy it in the future. I have a web page where I am accumulating useful ancient-coin symbols. It began with Greek letters:</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/Greekletters.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/Greekletters.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/Greekletters.html</a></p><p>I&#039;m sure there are many more ancient-coin symbols that I don&#039;t have. Show useful fonts and symbols here or in a message to me and I will add them to that page. You can all bookmark that page and copy symbols from it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
