Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/02/2018 9:10 pm Neat coin, Tim. Thanks for sharing. Interesting rendition of the "MP" at 11:00 and the "H" at 1:00, which certainly looks like an "N." I would have had a difficult time figuring those out if you did not provide the inscription in your post. Are these versions of those letters normal/typical for this issue, or unusual?

Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 01/03/2018 03:12 am Thanks Bob, Normally the letters M, H, L & V are a little different on coins from this period. I will post some examples of this today. Furthermore, the XPISTIANA RELIGIO type has most of the time a standard legend, therefore reading them is not that difficult.

Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 01/03/2018 07:52 am A serie of Letters on Carolingian coins. The S is sometimes on it's side, instead of standing. The H & the M are written as two II, sometimes with a bar in between or nothing at all Edited by Archeo1982 01/03/2018 07:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
