<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3551786, member: 19463&quot;]Also: When issued, this coin was the middle of a set of three denominations (perhaps half or one and double the other).&nbsp; Various mints preferred different reverses but the middle denamination had the bust left separating it easily from the smaller and larger with their right facing portraits.&nbsp; Before long, inflation ended the two smaller coins and the largest one (the Falling Horseman) shrank again and again until it was much smaller than the original small size (Phoenix reverse) coins.</p><p>Along the way, the coin below was overstruck converting it from the smaller denomination like your coin to a then current falling horseman of that size. The left bust and feet of the captives can be seen when the coin is rotated as in the upper set below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]943860[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
