    Orfew Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus

    A beautiful coin from a marvellous town. I visited there 2 years ago. If you have not been and you love history it is a must see. You can visit the alter -piece.

    Thanks guys/ It seems we live today in a pretty good time in history, unfortunately the coins/banknotes that are being produced suck. Poor designs, workmanship. However when you look at the wonderfull designed coins Europe circa 1200-1850...it kinda makes no sense, that we cannot produce skilled engravers/artists today:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
