<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 6567251, member: 19463"]While Donna is certainly right, it is important for beginners to realize that the 'rules' changed many times in the many centuries that coins were made and in the various mint cities so not every number you will find in the same place on a coin will mean the same thing (officina) as here.

Any good answer to a question will suggest at least two more questions so you need to get used to discovering other things that you simply do not know.
