    That's quite an ugly portrait. Great coin though!

    Do you think he would have given the mint master a bonus or the chop (quite literally), after producing a portrait like that:p

    Congrats on the win! I I want to get an early Eastern Roman Empire Semissis or Tremissis.

    You have a wonderful reverse there.
