From Crawford (p. 325): "The control-marks are the letters of the Latin alphabet, with or without a dot; A on the obverse is paired with X on the reverse, B with V and so on as far as K and M; when a dot occurs, it occurs on obverse and reverse and in the same position. Each pair of control-marks may have several pairs of dies."
