NumiFan Valued Member Poland 136 Posts	Posted 01/12/2026 12:41 pm Hello I'm trying to decipher a correct year on this coin. I found a good reference here https://en.numista.com/19095 Now, as far as I understand this should be the specific year. When I check the dates from the below table non these seems to be correct. Maybe someone could help me with this please? Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 01/13/2026 10:53 am Your coin reads cycle 15 year 51. Look at the group of two symbols second to the left from the date you have circled or the year (51), and it is apparent that the cycle uses the same two characters in the other order, so cycle 15. This combination, which would indicate 1917, is a bit curious because it is not listed in Numista or Krause. The earliest date listed in those references for this type of coin is cycle 15 year 52 (1918).

This part is clear However here is the part that is tricky for me. So, You say that this is 51. I wonder why the '1' is a mirror view while '5' isn't?
