<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3584988, member: 98035&quot;]1.1.6 Coin 3</p><p>24mm</p><p>4.10g[ATTACH=full]956968[/ATTACH] </p><p>Again with the striking issues, yeesh! While still part of this series, this coin is unusual in that the striking issue (either metal deformation from an improperly aligned strike, an improperly formed flan, or an overstrike), this one does not have the cheek hovering without touching anything; it connects to the hat. We can learn some good things from this coin, at any rate. Here we can clearly see the forepart of the face, and especially the front ribbon, which has a thick main line in the lower section, as well as a thinner accent line to give it a pseudo-3D effect. The ribbon originates from the necklace on this coin. The hat is somewhat obscured by the strike issues, but appears to be patterned. The left wing is clear, and delicately engraved. The orb is faintly visible, and appears to be turreted or patterned.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse again has a very large fire altar with an excess number of flame dots - I count 6 rows with a bottom row containing at least 7 dots. The pillar this time is a lozenge or diamond shape, but the ribbons still sag dramatically. The sun is a star on the left, and the moon is a crescent with a dot in the center at the right.</p><p><br /></p><p>The attendants again are tall, skinny, have large, wide hems on their dresses, and long, sharply jointed arms. The leg of the right attendant is visible, and is patterned with dots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
