I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    It seems to be about the combination of the mint marks on the 1845 5 francs:



    There is a non PROW coin and your coin, check the mint marks.

    It's the prow of an ancient-style sailing ship. Specifically, the "prow" is the object depicted at the top of the first listing in 1984's post, and the second one in the second picture, the privy mark for Albin-Etienne de Cambry while he was at Paris.

    Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.
