SERIES I (The earliest series)
..
The Series I are undoubtely the most fascinating series for the eight prutot type. The letters "W" are open, the tripod is flanked by a pair of appendages, there are fillets and sometimes "seeds" on each side of the tripod's bowl, and the date is cut lower than usual. This group represents only 16% of all the H486 type. The series I coin pictures are oversized to make the details more visible.
Note that an in-deapth article dedicated to the eight prutot series I is published in the present issue of Israel Numismatic Research, the new publication of the Israel Numismatic Society. This 13 pages and 5 plates article includes all the connection tables for the type and lists all the specimens known. Click on the INR logo at left.

The three following pictures are showing an astonishing example of a coin also struck by the pair O9-R72, but heavily tooled. On the first tooling (2nd picture) the letters added (arrow) are too fancy and too different than the norm. After my protestation, the dealer retried it from Ebay before the end of the sale. But eight month later, the coin was back on sale after he removed the most fancy letters previously added (3rd picture)! Note that this specimen is also tooled on the reverse, the right palm branch in particular.
