<p>[QUOTE="daniellec, post: 1000676, member: 27348"]The back is a man on a horse holding what appears to be a knife or really short sword in his hand. I went ahead and got is appraised today at a local coin shop and they offered me $350. I declined since I would rather pass it down to my kids and have it as a piece of my Great Grandfather. I have no clue if this is it's true value, but it is indeed real gold, authentic, and in mint condition. The guy agreed the coin could never have been circulated there wasn't a scratch on it. My kids now thought this was very cool and want to start collecting coins themselves. Not sure how to go about that without a little knowledge about coins from different times and countries, and I have no clue where to find coins other than our local coin shops. I figure I'll get them a few cheap ones to start while I research a ton more though<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
