This is great. A wonderful new coin - and yours because of CT.
Paper for me. Got tired of flips cracking or breaking. There actually is a chance for a coin to slip out through a crack, which is a horrifying...
Great coins @Parthicus - congrats on the new additions! I'll try to post my top ten shortly...

Nice coins @furryfrog02 - I also like Maurice Tiberius. He was responsible most likely for the compilation and/or writing of the military treatise...
Very nice coin @Bing - congrats!
Very nice coins RC - and some great provincials in there.
