COIN

Unique ID: LVPL-1DCD95

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Notes:

SEOL [ ] PINC[] with the SE and the NC both ligated which would give a likely full inscription of SEOLCA ON PINCS. However, that would result in half a coin to write CA ON. There are currently no other short cross type with Seolca as moneyer listed by either PAS or EMC. (peers comm. Dr John Naylor).
