Thanks for the post David, both very enlightening and mystifying.
What about the
Ptolemaic “indentation” at the centre of their bronzes? At 10.54 on the video they show ancient
coin moulds from an archaeological site. These clearly show a small hole in the centre, which confuses me further because that would produce a
raised “pimple” shape in the centre of the coin. The opposite of the indentation we actually see.
Best Regards,
