Description

A Club Rays Fugio cent where the ends of the sundial rays are rounded rather than terminating in cinquefoils. The rounded ray ends represent a distinct die variety within the Club Rays subgroup. The reverse legend order is not specified in the title, indicating this may encompass multiple die marriages sharing the rounded-end obverse characteristic.
