I love your new coin (great taste)

 

Thats cool

 

Lol, yes, a decoder ring!

 

Excellent coin! Rare and nice!

 

It's a good thing you used the Armenian script in your attribution, or you'd be hearing from Ardatirion.

 

Nice addition Mat.

 

Funny enough, I was about to compliment him on that!

 

All I see is a bunch of scribbles...
