Thanks Secret Santa

Mine finally arrived yesterday after going back and forth to the L.A. Distribution center 3 different times. Not something I have seen before, but I guess not surprising to some.

Got two lovely Tets, both reverses I didn't have for either ruler.

Thank you!

Very generous gifts, particularly that Aurelian with a lovely portrait for that emperor.

I recently got an Aurelian too and it was quite the journey to get to Florida. Well, you know about that better than anyone else here @Mat

 

Two generous and thoughtful gifts from your Santa @Mat
