I got back from a friend's wedding (at which I was the officiant, a first for me) and found this beauty waiting for me.

I got two more in the mail....

A reproduction of a "turtle", a coin from about 500bc, from the Greek island of Aegina.

and...


A 2018 10 shilling coin from the Biafra Free State.

Absolutely love it! The older reproduction coin is probably my favorite from your collection. So cool [emoji4]
