Its a joke (like getting a B- on a paper! :-D) Airtites are, in my opinion, bad for ancients. Usually, the coin won't be perfectly round and...
My mama always told me that if I didn't have anything nice to say I shouldn't say anything at all. :D
Good write up. I had also heard that King George insisted on these coins in his insanity. Of course, I haven't any way to cite this and regard it...

Wow, some interesting hobbies here. As far as collecting things, coins only, thanks! I don't even buy albums anymore (expect me to call them cd's?...
That's why UK pound coins still periodically bear the edge legend DECVS ET TVTAMEN (An Ornament and a Safeguard).
If you don't know what it is, how do you know it is rare? :D Anyway, the coin is a modern fantasty. The obverse shows Aeneas, carrying Anchises...
