Symbols.com is a web site based on symbol dictionaries by Carl G. Luingman. Using it, I was able to quickly locate symbols similar to the mystery )( symbol (discussed previously here and here):

http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/08/0812.html
Unfortunately, neither symbol has a numismatic connection or name. So I'm stuck again.
Symbols.com's graphic index is an interesting presentation of a query-able symbol dictionary. Such a dictionary would be useful for identifying ancient symbols, such as on coins. I'm imagining augmenting the 'obverse symbol' and 'reverse symbol' field in coin databases by using Luingman's group numbers for mysterious symbols, such as triskeles, ankhs, etc.

So far I have only asked Chris Hopkins, creator of the Numismatica font. The question will be going out in next week's e-Sylum. I am hoping someone there will know, or at least be able to suggest places to follow-up.
