Title: Script on Year 3 prutah
Post by: Nemonater on October 04, 2011, 04:44:46 pm

I'm trying to recreate the script on my year 2 and 3 prutah.  Here is the year 3, the red is what I see and the green is what I think would have been there originally.  Any improvements would be fantastic, I stink at this.

                            Thanks

The obverse legend is slightly different, the shin ( :Judean_shin_1:) is the other way around.  The reverse is right, just the Tzade ( :Judean_cadha_5:) is usually at a slightly sharper angle.  Compare:
