<p>[QUOTE="randygeki, post: 3008632, member: 13719"]I picked this one up from [USER=10613]@Victor_Clark[/USER] (shipped same day, thanks!). It has an interesting shield pattern to i<i>t. </i>It's also a bit of a puzzle since part of the ex is cut off. There are a few possible options when it comes to what the ex could be. PARL, PAR dot F, PARF, PAR palm branch. I feel comfortable ruling out PARL since the visible part of the last letter is quite long. So perhaps that last letter is F. If it were PAR dot F I think we'd see more of a gap between R and F (based of other examples). So maybe it's either PARF or PAR Palm Branch. I haven't seen any examples of PARF, but [USER=31620]@maridvnvm[/USER] has a FH from Arles with a similar ring around the shield boss with PARL in the ex. The last letter is a bit lower than the other 3 so maybe it's not a letter at all. It does look like it has what might be leaves coming of a palm branch about halfway down, but the 2 i've seen have the the leaves along the whole branch no half. So it could be corrosion I'm seeing. The only way to be certain is to find a die match.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]745794[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also picked up another FH from Hereclea </p><p>[ATTACH=full]745793[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
