About this comparison

Image-assisted line reconstruction; not exact geometry

Limited source detail: this is a best-effort reconstruction from a small or degraded cited reference image. The tiny pre-STERLING symbol is not legible enough to identify; it is retained only as an irregular compact shape. Fine letter wear is approximate and the watermark is intentionally excluded.

Visual rights remain unresolved.
