    Nice piece. I love that reverse!!!!! Stars of David are a nice touch too.

    Munich is a grand old city. If you haven't been there, I strongly encourage a looooooong visit; mine was 2 years.

    Another wonderful piece for your collection and an outstanding reverse! image

    Edited to add: the juxtaposition of the lower crowned head and the miter on the reverse is suggestive of...what?

    Another nice one, but who's the angry kid on the reverse? (Please no priest molestation comments.)
