I don't think it's there, because of the off-center strike

I'll guess this one SC2 2068.3c- torch below

My guess is the SC2 2068.6 - cornucopia below.

I wonder if the coin is dated at all, or whether mrit determined the date by "xxxxx below".

As much as I would like to have that Seleucid Empire Chalkon, that is not the coin I am playing...

It also depends on how you guys entered data and to my best knowledge I answered normally. You guys may still get me...
