peter1234 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1351 Posts	Posted 01/16/2013 7:31 pm The obverse always is worse than the reverse. Try British/India 1 rupees they are 10% of the price of florins and so similar. I stumbled on these 15 years ago and filled my boots even with some William 1V's. Report this Post to the Staff
