Fabulous portrait. I think the flan gives it character frankly. Nice addition to your collection David.
This always is listed as an aegis, but it always has seemed more like part of the elephant's hide to me. One of my non RR keepers. Ptolemy I...
Better safe than sorry. You need to be comfortable with your coins.
