<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3584965, member: 98035&quot;]1.1.3 Coin 2</p><p>23mm</p><p>3.92g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956948[/ATTACH] </p><p>Although nearly uncirculated, this coin is plagued by striking issues. Here we can see the more naturalistic representation of the face on the previous coin giving way to something more schematized. Here we can see a portrait with a large circular cheek, round, wide open eyes, a strong jawline lined with two rows of beard-dots, and a long straight nose with a small nostril. The ear is high, well engraved, and the earring shows only two beads at the end of very long chains. The headgear is mostly obscured by the flat strike, but we can see parts of the large, ornate wing, and interestingly a decorative element above the brim, displaying as a line terminating in a dot. Again on this portrait, the hair bun is a large pom-pom, although distinctively more star-shaped, perhaps due to being in better condition. The rear ribbon is made up of a two-stroke lower portion originating from the die border just behind the shoulder pad, and leads up to a slanted but more attractively engraved upper portion. The shoulder pads again display like large textured clubs attached at a central brooch.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse, although mostly obscured, is nearly identical to our coin 1. We can see a plain unadorned pillar attaching the bowl of the fire altar to the base, and the attendants are tall, thin, wearing prominent thorns, and have a prominent split at the bottom of the dress that reveals two legs comprised of dots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
