I'll leave my M contribution as it is above, and I don't have a lot of N's to add (beyond what others have contributed already):

(Sorry for the obverse-only presentation again, but I'm pressed for time! )

 

We forgive the obverse only contribution because of all your Nirt coins! (No that's not a typo for neat. SA just schooled me with a ruler named Nirt...but who the heck was Nirt??)
