Welcome to the Ancients Forum, @Thierry Pruvost ! It's great to have a new member from the land of the Franks! Also, your coin is very nice.
Thanks @Deacon Ray ! I see you're a collector of biblical coins. What an interesting theme ! I have to buy a book about that for month but my priority is to buy coins What do you think about the David Hendin's book ? Regards.
David Hendin's books are superb! I carry a messenger case with me almost everywhere and in it a well worn and marked up Bible, David Hendin's Guide to Biblical Coins Fifth Edition, and a bag of Widow's Mites to give away to folks going through difficult times. I forgot to mention Granola Bars. I always carry a few Granola Bars
