I love affordable Greek silver! Those look nice and aren't microscopic. (Though the teeny-tinies have their charm, too.) I particularly like...
It's complicated. Yes, there is indeed a gallery, but for a few reasons, it is not ideal for my purposes here, though it is a good feature. (I...
That's a really nice example. Quite handsome with the silvering. I suppose I should still have described mine as "billon", even though there's...

I too find that graffito interesting. In fact, I used to collect coins with (artistic) graffiti on them. But they were merely old. Not ancient....
Aha. So Pax on mine then as well? Thanks.
