<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7438970, member: 19463"]Thanks for the post! The reason many of us hang around here is that we learn things we did not know. More complete copies that show his name on his helmet crest are rare. If we search online we will find a few with varying degrees of clarity and completeness. This one has excellent completeness with a bit less than perfect clarity but is still a magnificent coin of the type. Most are legend free due to centering or strike. </p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1498287" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1498287" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1498287</a></p><p>Those who read the above link will see the note that this is the first coin with an inscription naming the person shown on the coin.
