[QUOTE="otlichnik, post: 4039707, member: 109731"]Sadly I don't think we can be certain either way. The chi-rho was used on gold before this issue and appears regularly starting about a decade after this issue. The mark on this issue is similar to a chi-rho, but also to a star. Some have a dot that seems to indicate chi-rho others do not. To me the options are: - not a chi-rho, only a star, - a chi-rho but the design was not properly understood, - purposely ambiguous (plausible deniability by a Christian designer??) (I wish I remembered whose idea that was as it was not originally mine). SC[/QUOTE]
