Legends start at 7.00 o?clock. Another similar type to 8, (however some pieces have only 8 jewels) but now the privy mark is on both sides ? at the end of the legends. The only privy mark used is a crescent. Normally 6 harp strings, though one exceptionally rare issue has 7. Die axis rotated. Pellet between sceptre handles.
