<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jb_depew, post: 2774130, member: 88227&quot;]I&#039;m new to this forum but have been following this thread with interest. I have an example of this coin that seems to use some numerals that are not referenced in the linked reference, or in any other Phoenecian numeral reference that I&#039;ve found online. However, the British museum example cited earlier by Ed has a numeral matches in the &quot;upside down F&quot;. I read the numerals in the attached photo as (in English, from right to left) as ?,100; 10,1,10; 1,1,1). I have no idea what the upside down &quot;F&quot; character is, and wonder if it could it be a multiplier or part of the ships prow? Also, why would they use different styles for &quot;10&quot; on the same numeral set? One is a dash, one is a dash with a hook. Also, are the fifth and sixth numerals from the left (the 1 and 10) connected intentionally as a ligature, or just sloppy die engraving? I&#039;m at a loss![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
