Eventually try to search the Web with "spic de grau" , 75000 hits on google. adding 'stamp' reduces to 6200, mostly auctions. "spic de grau' = spike of wheat = wheat ear for the wheat ears on either side of the portrait. |

Cheers Terry,
may seem I am a pedant, but curious as to what they would have grown in Romania around that time, wheat seems obvious, but one never knows. Barley may have been a hardier crop for local weather? I don't know much about the pros cons of wheat v barley Rod "Terry Reedy" wrote in message ... On 6/17/2011 11:40 PM, rod222 wrote: Are you sure? does wheat have hairs down the seed stem?
