The letter shows a detached tail from the stem, with an extended lower arm connecting the two. On closer examination, the form suggests a likely reworking of a previous ‘F’ into a reverse ‘R’, reinforcing the notion of intentional die modification, 8.72g, 19.58mm, (Variant Gomes # 6.04), about extremely fine, Very Rare.
