They really got a head with that design

What a curious but interesting design. I noticed that the halo/nimbus is still around the neck rather than the head which seems odd. Also the arms on the reverse certainly doesn't fill one with awe/respect/confidence for the noble whose name appears around the arms. When something like this pops up I always wonder what the contemporaries thought when they saw the design.

Thanks for sharing, what fun!
