  • Thanks Zohar.

    The reverse is mundane by comparison , but attractive.

    I'll post it in a little while though.....

    The women are usually the main attraction on coins - from a coinnoisseur!

    This Roty character was a very nice engravor. image

    I note CCN's "Roty" inscription on the shoulder, and Yellow's in the left field area. I wonder why the difference?

    Very nice, I have always liked that particular image of Marianne.
  • Thanks folks.

    I really like Yellowkid's image lots better than mine.

    Here's the reverse after a quick cosmetic trip the beauty shop to treat a mole or two and a small scratch.

    Hey, nobody looks at the back side of a good looking woman anyway right ? image

    Uhh, that last statement would NOT be true...

    Very nice bit that I was going to bid on as well but am preoccupied at the moment. Still, the obverse seems by recall to be paired with a variety of relatively non-descript reverses and who really cares about the reverse?

    Nice pick up and a coin that could be made into a poster.

    Well, just Love coins, period.
