Sap Moderator Australia 16846 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 11:58 pm Not a coin, but a medal of some kind. It's Renaissance in style, doing it's best to try to look like an ancient coin. As you say, it's cast, as the huge cracks across the obverse attest. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
