<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3585007, member: 98035&quot;]1.1.8 Coin 5</p><p>20mm</p><p>3.81g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956980[/ATTACH] </p><p>Another slight variation on the same theme, this coin shows an even further level of degeneracy. The eye has the characteristic &lt; shape, but has no pupil. The nose is typical, and the nostril is a detached dot sitting near the cheek. The mustache originates from between the nostril and upper lip and runs onto the cheek before merging with it. The lips and chin are all dots, and the beard is made of two rows of dots. The ear is high, small, and greatly simplified, and sports the typical earring with two pearls on chains and a third hovering below it. The necklace and shoulder pads are too difficult to make out, and the hat is entirely off-flan. The front ribbon is notable for being made of two separate strokes; a feature we have not seen since early in the series.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fire altar is sloppily engraved, with crooked lines, flame dots that fail to follow straight lines and merge with their surroundings. The shaft is a lozenge shape, and the ribbons are almost circular. The moon is visible at the upper left, and the sun is an unusual starfish shape - we will actually see this shape as a countermark on a future coin. The attendants have large round heads, a solid necklace, prominent breasts, sharply jointed arms, and the characteristic &quot;mermaid skeleton&quot; dress of herringbones that seems to run off the die without ever forming a hem or legs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
