Wow, that is a spectacular medal! :wideyed:
What do redwood trees, the interior of the Hagia Sophia, and my new coin have in common? Photos can’t do it justice. ;) Having recently taken an...
I don't care what the grade is, this is a wonderful specimen!
Lovely coins, @lordmarcovan! The portraits are very similar. A Gothic or Godless Florin is high on my wishlist, but I want one that is nicely...
