The best resource I've seen exploring this topic within Chazal is Rabbi Kasher's Ktav Hatorah VeOtiotea (it might be part of the new edition of his Torah Shelema) and he brings this coin too.
@yisroel "Note here that the ע is similar to a triangle, as brought in פוסקים." Which poskim are you referring to?
