Thanks Anoob. Also thanks to you too Mat. It really is a beauty.

 

No problem

 

that is a very cool coin, the kids on the throne are great...and the letters of the legend are very bold.

 

Very nice! Be hard to trade.

 

I have been back a few times to see this coin, anyone notice that it looks like the two rulers on the reverse are seated giving eachother a "high five?"

 

Hehe. Maybe.
