    Very sweet sceat. An exemplary example of a very early British coin.

    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    also very cool, i have seen the "porcupine coins"...again, this one looks like it's in fantastic shape. (or are these coins usually found in better shape than the usual medieval european coin?)
