In fact I just bought one to replace mine. So much nicer than mine and less than I payed for mine I think also.

Was yours one of these siege coins, MV, or a coin struck under Genghis Kahn in his own right? I know little about these but would like one of the latter for show and tell. My last 'G' today... GORDIAN III Sestertius, AD 238-244. (30mm, 22.78g) Obv. IMP GORDIANVS PIUS FEL AVG Laur. bust. r. Rev. IOVI STATOR Jupiter stg. resting on sceptre and holding thunderbolt. Ref. RIC 298a  |

Val it is one of the siege coins. I think they are also interesting because while not minted in his name, they were made specifically for him and you can technically claim that your coin was owned by Genghis Khan. :)

Nice detail I on that Gordian ant reverse, MV. Very attractive.
Well maybe I too might treat myself to one of those siege coins then. Maybe. you sure you don't work for Nemesis MV? ;-)
