<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 8367571, member: 26302&quot;]They usually tried to maintain an alignment like [USER=10613]@Victor_Clark[/USER] states, but it was not imperative. Other cultures changed orientations to facilitate striking of designs, especially thin coins like Sasanid issues. The higher the relief or thinner the flan and you are risking not striking properly, just like capped bust US halves and the reverse motto. Fully struck mottos are much scarcer due to metal needs of the obverse design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
