    Thanks for your help, Bing ...

    Ummm, watching me trying to fumble-through a RIC-ID must have been a bit like watching a baby deer taking its first steps, eh?

    ... ummm, or as you've stated before => kinda like watching a racoon with its first beer!!

    Or it's second or third etc. To be honest, I'm not certain of the mint. I thought Cologne at first, but the portrait wasn't right. Maybe I'll have a beer with ya.:confused:

    Here's mine below. Note the globe in the examples both above and below. (Not that we needed more proof that the Ancients had an appreciation for a round earth and not a flat earth.)

    To my eye, however, the obverse looks like a Cologne obverse and not a Lyons one.
