<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 3341260, member: 31620&quot;]The struck flan is sitting in the obverse die, which is attached to the anvil. There ys a small amount of movement on the obverse. There is some minor shadowing in fron of the nose and mouth. The reverse is more clear with two different Sol heads visible, the seated captive etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>This does tell us that the manufacture process involved a single obverse die and two alternating reverse dies. Perhaps to allow heat to be lost from the reverse die to prevent damage due to heat built up in the striking process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
