<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3584954, member: 98035&quot;]1.1.2 Coin 4</p><p>22mm</p><p>4.09g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956935[/ATTACH] </p><p>Quite a unique style, this one is characterized by a tiny, pointed nose, pursed lips, and a very small ear that sits directly under the brim of the hat. The hair bun is an indistinct blob hovering behind the head, and the lower portion of the ribbons are made up of two disconnected crescents. The hat is not in relief, and is decorated with a crescent. The brim of the hat is narrow, and there is a prominent &quot;antenna&quot; decoration coming from the top of the hat. The orb is visible, but weakly struck and indistinct - easy to miss if you weren&#039;t looking for it!</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse, curiously, is of very fine style. The attendants have gracefully curving bodies with solid dresses. Unlike the usual type where the hem of the dress splits at about knee length, this shows the hem as a slanted line which curiously extends beyond the dress. No legs are seemingly present. The attendants&#039; heads are tall ovals with no facial features, although the necklaces are carefully and prominently engraved, each with five pearls. The attendants&#039; far arm remains close to the body, and is distinct from the fire altar. The right attendant&#039;s far arm is extremely small!</p><p><br /></p><p>The fire altar is well-proportioned, with large flame dots in a 4-3-2-1 pattern. The sun is at the left as an indistinct pom pom shape, and the moon is at the right; a barely discernable crescent. The shaft is a tall thin pillar, and the ribbons are a sash made of dots, sagging in the middle and held by each attendant.</p><p><br /></p><p>A match to this coin was recently unsold at VAuctions:</p><p><a href="http://www.vauctions.com/ViewArchiveItem.asp?ID=40721" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vauctions.com/ViewArchiveItem.asp?ID=40721" rel="nofollow">http://www.vauctions.com/ViewArchiv...asp?ID=40721</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
