<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DiomedesofArgos, post: 4945844, member: 115035&quot;]Looking at the two coins, I feel pretty much certain that they are die matches, but one thing irks me.&nbsp; The coin on the left has an extra dot that the one on the right does not have.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From what I have read, these hyperpyron coins were struck twice, once on the left and once on the right, so the two halves aren&#039;t always perfectly aligned.&nbsp; Looking at the emperor&#039;s halo and pendilia, they appear misaligned on the left coin.&nbsp; Does this explain the fifth dot?&nbsp; Is it just a second impression of the dot that should be the right dot in a diamond pattern of 4 dots?&nbsp; What do you think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
