Can anyone help me out here? In RIC VII, some bust types are described as "....seen from back". (Ex: bust laureate, draped & cuirassed /vs/ bust laur., dr. & cuir seen from back) I've looked through Beast Coins' pictured examples of bust types for RIC VII, gone through the plates in RIC, looked through Tesorillo, Wildwind, OCRE & Mr. Esty's many sites & through old threads here but I just can't put my finger on the difference or find an answer that makes sense. Can anybody explain what, exactly, it means? Very grateful for any help.
