Cool coin, Eric.

 

is it just the ware, or is that a very different portrait? cool coin either way oki!

 

Cool Nike, Oki ... sadly, I don't have a similar example

Ummm, but I do have a few sweet examples of Nike/Victory advancing (is that cool enough?)



Sorry Oki, but I just couldn't resist (congrats again on a very sweet Op winner!!)

Cheers, brother
