<p>[QUOTE="YOC, post: 1847011, member: 58941"]If what you have said is correct, ie. only 2 possibilities, ROM or CON, then I would say its ROM. To use correct typeface anatomy terminology, I think I can see a dot at the crotch of the two diagonal strokes of the capital letter M. I can also make out two serifs I think, one at the top of each of the vertical stems. The only thing which confuses me is the horizontal line where the coin is broken to the left of the O, this looks like the arm of a capital T rather than an R, although there may be a faint tail visible just on the break suggesting an R.....it all looks a little squashed over to the right, may there have been another letter or symbol before the R, such as a dot or star in this coin type?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
