Yeeehaaa, Okidoki!! (great new additions) ... => wow, you're burnin' like a comet, my new coin-friend!! Once again, I have an addition that is "not" a Hadrian ... but it is a very cool addition (probably my favourite coin overall???) Here is Marcus' version ....

I hadn't watched the soccer game yet, but apparently you're telling me that Argentina beat the Netherlands!! (man, I thought that I'd be safe from hearing about any soccer/football scores on this coin site!!) Oh well ... Okidoki, I only had Netherlands to win in my World Cup Soccer Pool (I'm not actually from the losing country => I am very sorry to hear that the Dutch lost the game ..... umm, although I did pick them to lose against Germany in the final!!) Great coin my friend (have a drink on me!!) Cheers
Interesting and strange DE is the start of the spelled out word for ten DEKATOV so 10 must be the intent but other cities of the period avoided using the unlucky theta for 9 with DE or 4+5. Separating the two letters across the flan borders on strange.
