    The strike on this is a little off, but I like the definition on Pax; particularly the hair and skirt

    One has to appreciate the detail on the reverse. Nice coin.

    I think Peace is calling to me, "Vlaha, Vlaha! Buy me!"

    I agree with chrsmat => I think Pax is bringin' it on the reverse!! (oh but, Severus Alexander is definitely lookin' fine himself on that great obverse!!)

    => congrats iamt => the coin is a winner!!

    ... oh, and the odd flan-shape is even kinda cool
