Thought I'd throw this one out there as a 3/4 facing head that I can only assume is larger at over 6x the weight:

I was going out of turn. 7C had...

 

No, 7c went out of turn and you returned to the topic I posted on #1280 an hour before his #1281. When this happened in the past, I tried to post a coin with both characteristics but I know of no 3/4 views of an Aramaean King. Perhaps I confused people by asking for a 3/4 larger than 0.2g (the smallest I have so almost all 3/4 coins would work). The easy way out now would be for someone to post an Aramaean King or just let the thread die.

 

O.K. I have Abghar X. In a moment.
