Severo's weekly random coin (44-03)

Severo

Hello everyone!

Although I know this forum is about the 'Darkside', remember that my Darkside differs from that of many of you. I mean, this coin is from the US but it's still Darkside for me. I won't say much about this piece because every one of you is perfectly familiar with this type, I only want to say that it is probably my favourite US coin design.

As I understand it, this is a world coin forum and we a certainly in the"world" There are probably lots of folks on this forum that agree that the "mercury" is a very good design.

I, for one, like the design..........

And the fasces as a symbol of the source of authority or law, well that's been used by many darkside countries throughout the ages...
