moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/27/2015 3:42 pm A really wonderful example of an historic figure that remains known today. I agree that the portrait is far superior to what you usually find. Congratulations. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/27/2015 3:50 pm Nice, Dutch! Good pick-up. Always interesting to note how her portraits on coins contradict the idealized notion we have of her. Your second one of these, right? You posted one a long while back, didn't you?
