<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cliff Reuter, post: 8354699, member: 115140&quot;]Thanks to everyone for the likes, comments, and links to possible candidates. It&#039;s a great physical reminder for me of the trip with my son.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It was just in the top of my checked bag with other smallish items. I kept a couple of items together so if there was an issue they could be addressed simultaneously.</p><p><br /></p><p>At first, I actually thought this might be a token or medal of some sort celebrating a local person and farmers with the agricultural items on the reverse and not even a coin. Not being familiar with ancients I thought the bust might have been a monk wearing some sort of cap with lines on it. When I started taking images back home I saw what I think is a hair bun and decided it was more likely a woman. </p><p>(In hindsight, I probably had monks on my brain after visiting the Montserrat monastery in Catalonia. LOL Absolutely stunning views there, BTW.)</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of the things I liked about this coin were how well centered the strike was, how well the lines of the hair stood out, and the wheat grain on the reverse (since my main interest is US wheat cents).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
