This arrived today and it is outstanding!!! The fields are so reflective and the devices so cameo that the fields photo pure black. The strike is crisp and the coin is flawless(in my eyes, anyway).
This is from the Ukraine Km77 - silver proof .925 silver and 1.000 oz ASW. Sorry to go on so much but this coin has made my day!

    Great coin, Shep! image

    Interesting, that the lion here looks like the Czechoslavakian (or now Czech) lion, never saw before such a lion on Ukrainian coins?!

    Nice coin. Tell us something about the person of the obverse and the significance of the bow and arrow.

    Thanks for the comments - in answer as to who the figure on the coin is ....from the COA:

    "This coin continues the Heroes of the Cossack Age Series and commemorates Prince Dmytro Vishnevetsky (? -1563) Cossack's military leader in the years 1550 - 1563, famous for his raids against the Turks and Tartas. He founded a fortress at Mala Khortysya island...in Ukrainian folklore he was praised under the name of Cossack Bayda."
