Ron Bude (in personal commentary [5 September 2013]): "The reverse of your coin is a new die. The obverse match for your coin has a reverse with long tongue, beaded tail, and only one mark, a triquetrum in the 3rd position. The few known reverse dies with the mark arrangement of your coin, that is: dot, -, triquetra, -, do not have a tongue."
