gtkwml Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 07/21/2018 09:52 am Thanks! Looks like small variations on the same coin. The one you sent makes it look a bit like a pearl strap under the crown.? Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7057 Posts	Posted 07/21/2018 10:03 am I suspect it's just the stylized rendition of the lower part of the beard. Easier to see here: https://www.coinproject.com/siteima...12332q00.jpg But, as always, I defer to the Roman collectors on this board. They know their stuff. Report this Post to the Staff
