Hello, everyone.

I wondered if someone would be kind enough to help me with this question.

On the reverse of this sixpence, what is the plant species of the left-hand branch forming the wreath, please? I know the branch on the right is oak (probably English oak, Quercus robur).

The Numista link for this coin is here: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4211.html

Thank you - if anyone knows, it would satisfy my curiosity and be appreciated.

With my regards,
Duncan Graham.

I believe it's meant to be an olive sprig, symbol of peace.
