THE 3 FINEST SPECIMENS

1. OBVERSE DIES

Die O1
Connected to R1
Connected to R2

Note that the process consisting in writing two very small letters one above the other (because it is the end of the inscription and the space is missing) has also been used on the die H492-O2 (see at the left). But on H493-O1 this process concerns the letters "DO" as on H492-O3 (at the left) it concerns the letters "WD". Also note that this process was probably not "normalized": On H493-O1 the first small letter ("D") is at the bottom as on H492-O3 the first small letter ("W") is at the top (and upside-down).
