=> well, as always ...... hey, if you don't have any Seljuqs examples, them merely loosen your coin-tie and post something that'll wow us!! (or make us laugh)

Cheers ...... this "stuff" never gets old, eh?!



Oh, I forgot to add that usually these dudes don't have animals on their coins, so that is why I was attracted to these three examples ... "please" prove me wrong and show me a whole lot more animal coins from this era ... thanks, gang

 

Have a snifter Steve, enjoy the peace and quiet, and have fun collecting.

 

Nice colors on your new polo pony llama, Steve-O!

You're a bit of a crazy duck, eh Green?

 

My middle name........

 

That's totally cool ... man, I wish my middle name was Duck

 

Somebody say "DUCK"?
Pics wouldn't post - Got them to post later!

 

Hey I think having "X" as a middle name and a last name of "6" is pretty darn cool...

 

You're outta the fricken pen, my friend ... somebody call the duck-catcher!!

Very cool new, Seljuq, Steve!
