    Beautiful coins, numizmatikci ...

    ... but sadly, although I have an example myself, I too have zero-idea how to read the coin's clues!! (I merely have the seller's info)

    => great site, TIF!!

    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    those are cool NM, and that's a nice link TIF.

    some of the early ones that still have images of kings and animals are very attractive.
