[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3614420, member: 56859"]Oh. I see. :oops: Hmm, the style is different but there is not much consistency in the minor details of Alexandrian coinage and portraits become more generic in the mid and later issues. I've not found any rhyme or reason to regnal year placement, which can vary within a given type. As for the branch behind the eagle's head, I'm not sure what that lump of metal is. Perhaps it is a palm frond, since a palm frond is often the eagle's shoulder. That would make the line under the wreath the other end of the palm frond. Perhaps the middle portion of the branch has been smoothed away on your coin?[/QUOTE]
