Generally the &quot;U&quot; is straight across the top of the uprights, while &quot;G&quot; may have only the slightest of curves. Also in this period, the provincial folles of Nicomedia and Cyzicus have a variety of subsidiary symbols in the exergue on the obverse- wavy lines, crescents, dots, crosses and so forth. Their significance is unknown. (From CNG) </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
