    This coin has been a bane! I don't have enough letters to make out who is shown on the obverse and reverse.
    I looked through 1,500 coins and like 150 pages of results looking for this one.

    Any help is appreciated. The coin is much better in hand than the flat image the portrays.

    Well, that made a quick job of things. There are quite a few different portrait designs in this listing. I'm glad that my example is the higher style portraits. I truly like the flowing hair on mine.
