<p>[QUOTE="robp, post: 4907930, member: 96746"]Not as far as I can see as the only equivalent runic letter resembling those used on the coin is the R. I can't see any reason why runic would be used as it's a hundred years plus later from it's regular use. The engraving seems to have been done with 7 punches - a long and a short bar, a small and large crescent, a triangle, a stop and an annulet, which leads to an angular style, but is nevertheless consistent with legends going forward.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
