Burnett and Glenn showed me a very exciting coin and I’m trying very hard to SEE what others have seen on it. Abdy, like I, struggled to perceive the undertype. Burnett very generously pointed out to us the critical features. The back of Saturn’s head with is messy hair can be seen just above the lips.
Ok that isn’t that convincing so maybe the reverse is easier. I at least feel more hopeful here of seeing what others see.
Behind the horse’s head one can see the ground line and the top of the O of ROMA and maybe also the top of the R.
Do you see it?
Let me know.
Ok. I now spotted a bit of the border on the obverse and Abdy has convince me he sees part of the M next to the O.
Oh how we struggle in the shadow of giants.
