    That is a pretty coin! My local dealer has a basket with mostly foreign, rather interesting pieces from design perspective, and let's me and other clients with their kids dig through it and pick out one at no charge. Cute PR move and makes the kids happy while I'm viewing his display cases!image

    When I was young the really old-dated coins were very historically interesting to me. They make me think of what was going on in the country of issue and the world during that time period.
