<p>[QUOTE="SeptimusT, post: 4352225, member: 91240"][USER=77226]@Orange Julius[/USER]' coin is tough, and 575 is plausible. I can't really make heads or tails of the upper left punch, but it looks like the 'flag' symbol doesn't always have the taurines, or they're not always clear. One of the examples in the book (page 235) looks very much like the depiction on this coin (compare the bottom left symbol). In fact, it almost looks to me like the entire symbol is enclosed within a partial 'bubble,' not just the upper portion.
