Beautiful coin.... Goetz.... is he the one who designed the German propaganda tokens in WWI?
'Swastika' symbol represented the sun as used by native Americans. As a good luck symbol, I have a large token for 'Boy Scout Shoes' from 100...
Just my opinion, but.... Could it possibly be a die struck replica in sterling (die made from copying a genuine coin)? It does appear to have been...
Very thoughtful and conveys the true meaning of "the widow" in the Bible. A gift from the heart. Yes, very professional job.
No photo available, unfortunately, but my first Roman coin was a sestertius of Antoninus Pius. I was 15, and I took the bus downtown (Dayton,...
