Been doing my best on the ID of the obverse die. Not easy, with BUSINESS being so indistinct. The top of the D is clearly lower than the top of the N in MIND, suggesting 4, 11, 16, and 18. The line that separates the exergue in Fugios is what I would call a variation of an "egg and dart" pattern, and the left upright of the N in MIND on this coin comes up to barely to the right of one of these "eggs," or rounded elements. Another egg is inbetween the D and Y. I think this narrows it down to 16, especially looking at FUGIO, where a line drawn across the top serifs of the you does not intersect the G, and the top of the I angles toward the G, and away from the O. Can't see a thing on the middle of the reverse, but only two reverses were paired with 16, H and N. What do you think?
