Limes Posted December 13, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2022 Great additions! Your first coin jumps out, great portrait. Though I'm also curious about a coin in your larger group, digital tray. Third row, second from the right, with on the reverse two figures standing on a platform. That looks like a great coin too, whose is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to take a picture that does it justice which is why it was not in my top 10. The revese has a similar jade color as the obverse.
