    Neat piece anyway. Any idea of the period? The language used is quite nteresting. Wonder if it is from the reconstruction. Can't go by the stars on the flags as they are obviously not accurate representations.

    Let me guess, that Coin is made out of Cubic Zirconia and put out from the "Chosen One"'s Political Campaign?
