<p>[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 2810774, member: 75937"]Thanks so much, [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] for your help and for sending me photos of Dattari's book. After looking at the catalog listing and the plates, I think it is most likely 5850, which has an epsilon in the right field (all the online examples I've seen are 5849, with the epsilon next to the L in the left field). This is statistically more likely than it being 5848 (less rare, per Emmet). That one has a star in the upper left field and the L is below the scales in the lower left field. On my coin, there is an L and no star in the upper left field and the figure of Dikaiosyne seems to be more similar to 5850 in the plate example.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]657622[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]657624[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's the reverse again for comparison:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]657626[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And the possible placement of an epsilon on the die based upon plate 5850 in Dattari:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]657627[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
