    Ardatirion Où est mon poisson

    There were a bunch of coins that I'd scanned/typed up, but never got around to uploading to my gallery or posting here. So I went through them all and cleaned up. I like it because its such a melange of different styles. Its an odd assemblage, check it out!

    Yup, a pentagram to be more precise. Another common symbol of Pitane. There's another one at 1 o clock, but I can't make out what it is.
