<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3584985, member: 98035&quot;]1.1.5 Coin 7</p><p>23mm</p><p>3.98g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956965[/ATTACH] </p><p>This coin is just as perplexing now as when I first purchased it. Despite being struck at least twice--and possibly a third time--roughly half of the obverse is completely featureless. We can see from the lowest strike that the chin here seems to follow the same &quot;Orange slice&quot; shape found on 1.1.5-4, which is more or less the only criteria placing it in this category. We can see the hat is a small semicircle and the wings have reduced to just a few lines. The ear appears as an upside down teardrop shape and is solid, arguably because of the multiple strikes. Three pearls are visible on long chains hanging down from the earlobe. The rear ribbon is small and delicately carved.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, striking issues make the reverse of this coin extremely difficult to assess. The fire altar is wide and ov about average height, and the flame appears to be a solid triangle. We can see the ribbon sags in the middle and is held by the attendant. The attendant is tall and thin, but reasonably well-proportioned with a very tall and narrow featureless head atop a pearl necklace. The breasts are large and prominent, and the arm bends naturalistically at both the elbow and the wrist, although the hand is still just a continuation of the arm. We can clearly see the less common skirt hem swept to the side, as on 1.1.4-2. The sun appears on the left and is a ring of six dots with no visible center.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
