Habitually, all the coins only have an eagle on the left standard and this one is turned to the left. Unlike the aureii, the right standard is never surmounted by a crown. On this type AYC # 6 (2) there is an eagle on each standard. The one on the left is turned to the left and the one on the right to the right.
