[QUOTE="I_v_a_n, post: 2618391, member: 81539"]Dear CT Friends! When I am seeing at almost every auction description of this early electrum series like a "swastika" type, every time I am in great doubts. My oppinion is that this is only positive / negative from the same punches. I mean that the obverce die of this seriee is only the same result of blow on the anvil of same punch which we can see at reverce. But in numerous combinations, so it is only a question to view a lot of this coins and find the same in positive and negative. This is the same illusion like 90% of people who are first time seeing cyzicene reverce asking: "This is a swastika?" :) So, my oppinion this is NOT a swastika. What do you think. Below an illustration to my idea (at second photo obverce mirrored and turned). Photo from CNG Triton XX lot 286.[ATTACH=full]574036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]574038[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
