[QUOTE="Ignoramus Maximus, post: 8256090, member: 104741"]Nice coin, [USER=117904]@Ryan McVay[/USER].:) I love the 'antennae' on top of Iris' head. Like you, I only have access to the digital version of Konuk, so I can't be of much help to you. (If it's any consolation, I found out the small illustrations in the digital version are only moderately helpful when trying to confirm the dies of my coin. The pics all become very fuzzy when you enlarge them, so ID-ing is everything but easy. Then again, there probably aren't many Edward Scissorhand dies in the series, so that might make it easy in your case ;)). I hope someone here can help you. Do you have any idea what the antennae on top of Iris' head are and what they might represent? I think they look intriguing but I can't make head or tail of them. Kornuk calls them 'scrolls curling up on top of her head' but leaves it at that. Other sources on Iris don't note antennae or scrolls at all, so I'm basically groping in the dark here.

Anyway, here is my Kaunos coin, unfortunately minus (most of) the antennae: [ATTACH=full]1455552[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
