<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3584972, member: 98035&quot;]1.1.4- Fancy hat, Pointed Nose</p><p><br /></p><p>This type is closely related to 1.1.3, although it is difficult to determine whether they were minted before, after, or concurrently. They are less common than the square jaw type, but common enough to get their own type. the defining characteristics of this category are:</p><p>- The portrait is overall more realistically proportioned, with a small, more rounded jaw</p><p>- The nose comes to a sharp point</p><p>- The eye is still round and wide open</p><p>- The brim of the hat is wide, but not typically run to the edge of the die</p><p>- The wings are not as large as on 1.1.3, but are more &quot;feathery&quot; and ornate.</p><p>- The hat is topped with a quite prominent &quot;Antenna&quot;</p><p>- The fire altar shaft is so small it almost appears to be a dot</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1.1.4 Coin 1</p><p>22mm</p><p>4.04g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956950[/ATTACH] </p><p>As noted above, this coin prominently features a bust resembling those of 1.1.3, however lacking the powerful jaw. The eye is wide open, a dot within a circle. The nose comes down to a point, and the nostril is a crescent opening toward that point, giving the impression of a sharply pointed schnozz. The beard again displays as two rows of dots, the outer coming around to form the chin. The ear is larger and more pointed than on 1.1.3; the earring unfortunately is somewhat obscured by a die break, thus impossible to determine whether it has two beads or three. The hair bun is a large pom pom situated behind the bust. The hat is small and rounded, and sports a nice little antenna at the top. There is no trace of an orb above the helmet. The wings are large and ornate.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse unfortunately suffers from an off-center strike and numerous strike issues. We can see a very tall and wide fire altar with just a tiny lozenge at the center for the pillar. The ribbons originate from this lozenge, and are horizontal squiggly lines. Only the right attendant is visible - She is quite thin and tall with exceptionally long arms (unfortunately obscured by a large die break). The hem of the dress seems to split in the middle, and reveals two legs made of dots. The attendant&#039;s head is not visible, nor are the sun and moon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
