    If you expect me to get up off my butt and find my copy of Mitchiner, you are sorely mistaken. :D

    Perhaps an early Indian coin? I haven't got a ticket on the clue-bus but the coin photo on the left should probably be rotated 360 degrees. :D

    Hey, I'm no expert, but it looks kinda like a monkey trying to do an elephant?

    ... do I win a prize?

    :rolleyes:

    I think you have it backwards. It's the elephant trying the monkey.

    It's stored in my "external memory." I know where to LOOK for it - that's good enough for something as seldom-seen as this!

    Don't you mean 180 degrees? Otherwise, he'd be right back to where he started, which appears to be upside down! :)

    The orientation is correct and Collect is a joker...

    Naw man, there is virtually no way to tell, the reverse is irregular and the coin is scarce and not commonly collected, poorly studied, circulated for like 3 centuries . I got it for my "One of Each Collection"

    Thanks for making me feel better. I believe I own a few ancient coins but I know very little about them. I am interested in collecting coins with or referring to Jesus Christ, but I don't know enough to dive into that realm.
