<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 7869818, member: 75482"]I tend to agree with [USER=83175]@akeady[/USER]. The portion of the obverse legend visible on this half, ALE(X)AND, should run from about 12h to 6h clockwise. The previous owner may have mistaken the odd chunky line running inside the beading below AND for the scepter but from what I can find of similar examples at CNG, the legend is never in that relation to the portrait. I'm not entirely satisfied but left-facing does seem more likely than right-facing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
