Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted August 31, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted August 31, 2023 Here's my avatar coin (again)! Not like I haven't shown it before. Helmeted bust is cool though and so is the interesting Sol type on the reverse! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
