[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 3957158, member: 95174"][B]It has been a very Merry Christmas[/B]. 20 years ago I acquired this tetarteron, An Alexius Constantinople issue, bronze in color it had an excellent obverse but the reverse was poor (Originally completely covered with verdigris and an uncertain attribution at that time.) I cleaned it and the reverse became VG, still not acceptable but I always loved the Christ portrait. Before anyone questions its condition, here is a pic from 2006, cleaning never really helped the reverse. [ATTACH=full]1042429[/ATTACH] I had always wanted a tetarteron in a form of Jewelry. This was the coin I had chosen, I just never did it. I mentioned this to my wife early this year, I showed her the coin I had always wanted to wear. [U]She surprised me for Christmas, her design, very unique, the jeweler just enhanced it. I have never seen a design like it.[/U] [U][B]I love it and I love her. Here is the present I received tonight on this Christmas eve[/B][/U]. [ATTACH=full]1042433[/ATTACH] [B]Have a very Merry Christmas All. [/B][/QUOTE]
