    My G-ma loved her some elephants! She had quite the collection.
    Thanks Ya'll, the Photo's of different Denari, especially The Septimus. Them, are some great examples! The coin went into a nice inlaid Mahogany display box. Give it some time to re-tone.
    Appreciate each and every one of Ya!

    LOL.

    Pachyderms and Piggyderms MUST be related somehow, especially Spider versions... :)
