Reverse H Die Crack Mapping

Obverse 9 is identified by date placement at RE and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south below the base and to the east of the upright and base of the 1; to the south within the upper loop and to the east within the lower loop of the 9; to the south within the 0.

Reverse H has acquired a clash mark through (C)ENT and has developed the following die cracks:
1. Die crack from the rim at 7:30 extends upward into the middle outer olive leaf.
2. Die crack segment located along the outer edge of the olive leaf with the berry.
3. Die crack segment from the ribbon knot extends across through the middle arrow shaft and right ribbon, where it continues along the middle arrow shaft and through the middle arrowhead.

Comments: The initial date impression below the base of the 1 and within the upper loop of the 9 were previously unidentified prior to publication in this book.
