<p>[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 1984905, member: 54140"]I have seen this being posted in a couple of places. The design is easier to make out if you rotate it counterclockwise 90 degrees or so. I think it is a head of a deer or lion facing left. Here is a similar one that sold for $800 with head right: <a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=460823" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=460823" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=460823</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I don't understand why all of the articles I have seen don't post both sides of the coins.
