| Remark: | On the reverse of Imhoof-Blumer’s coin no. 6, a peculiar feature is visible between the 2 and 5 o’clock positions (see ibid., Plate XVII, 17). Imhoof-Blumer suggests that the coin was overstruck on a coin depicting a ship’s prow. This seems unlikely, however, since the obverse shows no traces of an undertype. As the reverse was struck far off-centre, the feature is more likely an impression caused by a pattern or irregularity at the edge of the die. Moreover, it does not resemble a ship’s prow: the outline of a prow normally curves inwards, whereas this line curves outwards. | |
