I have wanted one of these types for awhile. Late in January one surfaced that screamed at me. I liked how both of the main figures were well centered, usually one or the other is missing some portion.

very interesting, never seen this type of thing before
good art for the period I reckon, comparing against what other areas were minting at this time
World Collection
British Collection
German States Collection
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

No kidding. Been wanting an example for ages. Was a cheap too, even if it was from a UK dealer & their currency.
