<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1481515, member: 19463&quot;]To me the reverse is clearly an eagle but I do note that the original description calls it an owl.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect these but have enough hard to decipher coins of other types that I appreciate the clarity of this reverse.&nbsp; The obverse is more a matter of faith.</p><p><br /></p><p>I take a lot of coin photos.&nbsp; Sometimes I have photographed coins for friends.&nbsp; I now consider a coin to be my friend if I can tell which side to put &#039;up&#039; when I&#039;m shooting the photo.&nbsp; Those who have seen medieval European, Islamic, Indian and a few others will understand what I mean.&nbsp; This week I shot some coins for a friend to post on a VCoins sale site.&nbsp; There was a Crusader coin that was a mystery to me on both sides.&nbsp; At least here I see the eagle and see the reverted head so this coin must be approaching &#039;proof&#039; for the genre.&nbsp; :rollling:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
