| Remark: | On the reverse of Imhoof-Blumer’s coin no. 6, a peculiar pattern can be seen at the 2–5 o’clock position (see ibid, Plate XVII, 17). Imhoof-Blumer notes that this coin is probably an overstrike of a coin depicting a ship’s prora. However, this does not seem likely as the obverse of this coin appears to be without any traces of any underlying image. Since the reverse of the coin is very off-center, it seems likely that this pattern is more of an impression of some pattern or irregularity on the edge of the die. Moreover, this pattern does not correspond to a ship’s prora, as its line is usually curved inwards, whereas in this pattern it is curved outwards. | |
