Newbie here!!! I'm going insane and losing my vision staring at this coin. I give up! Hoping someone out there can spare a moment of their time and tell me about this beautiful coin. I am seeing what seems to be an L but it is located pretty much next to the headdress. All the examples I've seen shows it on the ribbon area. I also feel like maybe I'm seeing something on the ribbon as well? I think my eyes are just playing tricks on me. Maybe there's no L anywhere? Also, are the scratch type lines on her cheek anything of importance? Thanks in advance for your time!

The rounded bust means no L
