Thanks for the information. I thought the curilcue was a symbolic rasmi (flame finial), but your explaination makes more sense. The coin is called Unalom-Chakra in some places. So if the obverse contains Unalom then the reverse contains the Chakra (sun spiral with eight spirals).
I have found the coin was minted in at three locations: Philadelphia, Brussels, and Birmingham for 1918-19. Do you concur? There are variations in the date with the six being described as short, long, and standard which would account for the different mints.
If your interested I'll take some pictures of the 1918 and post them, as I have both the long and short six of this year.
