Many coins, such as yours, has one person on one side (obverse) and two on the other (reverse). I believe the obverse is the Ruler and the reverse is the Ruler &quot;passing the torch&quot; to his son/new ruler, because the one on the obverse, and one of the two on the reverse, have a halo. Thus, they are the same person but the non-halo&#039;d person is someone else (the son/new ruler). It is said that the person on the obverse is holding a bible but I believe that to be the written laws of that Ruler and not the bible. But all of this is my opinion, you can call it what you want.&nbsp; :smile</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
