[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24804561, member: 26430"]I would feel very confident that it's the grain ear/"[B]ear of corn[/B]" type. I love these Chersonesos Hemidrachms for the insane variety of symbols. I've sold a lot of these some years ago (don't remember which I still have, wish it was all!), but here's a photo collage of some of the ones I had at one point: [ATTACH=full]1587373[/ATTACH] I'm not sure how many total control symbols were produced on Chersonesos Hemidrachms, but I'm assuming it must be in the hundreds? Even limiting it to plants there are countless varieties -- even if you limit it to plants with a stem/stalk! The best way for these would be to find a reverse die match, but that's easier said than done. Don't even get me started on all the varieties of roses, flowers, poppies, olives, ivy, berries, selinon (parsley?), grapes (sometimes just bunches, with or without stems, sometimes on vines -- and in many configurations!), and other (?) leaves! That's just the flora...and just scratching the surface... Even within any one category... "Corn" or "grain ear," for example. Here are some (not all!) of the varieties: Very nice mature grain ear, with one leaf, l. side of stalk: [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9929997[/URL] With [I][B]two [/B]leaves[/I] now! One l. & one r. of stalk: [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=11085768[/URL] With one to r. (?): [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=501810[/URL] With no leaves on stalk: [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=11315366[/URL] L. side is that of the grain ear, the r.
