[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 2664989, member: 82322"]The reverse is very puzzling. I have seen three nested shapes on Greek depictions of a seashell, but this doesn't look quite like those. Example: [url]http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=96438[/url] I wondered if the reverse was half of a Greek-style thunderbolt, stuck on a small flan from large dies, but I couldn't find any Greek thunderbolts with the leaf-like shape. Example: [url]http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=96443[/url] I'm stumped![/QUOTE]
