    I had gotten side tracked with other coins and a bunch of work in the past year I had forgotten all about this coin until it popped up in my photos. I think that I have the description right. And I took new photos, definitely better than the last ones.

    I haven’t gotten any dolphin-riders yet. Another item for the to-do list, someday.
