[QUOTE="Nathan B., post: 4532917, member: 112852"]Well, Doug, your suggestion has borne some fruit. I managed to do it on another coin very easily, which means that the letter shapes seem to vary in style and clarity from one coin to another (unless Wikipedia itself is wrong, which wouldn't be the first time): [ATTACH=full]1122635[/ATTACH] In the above coin of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archebius']Archebius[/URL], at about one o'clock, we have the "dhra" We are going to go counter-clockwise. Noon is "mi," while eleven o'clock is "ka," while the ten o'clock letter is "sa." On the first coin, the only one I could recognize was "sa," but there are several of them. Still, it annoys me that I couldn't see it anywhere on the first coin, though. Anyway, thanks again for the suggestion![/QUOTE]
