Another nice one, v! I have a feeling that the attributes that prompted the name "African Head" would no longer be considered politically correct in this day and age.

Thanks p! Yeah, I've thought about the name too...I think not.

rachums, it's a Miller 4.1-f.4 nicknamed "African Head".
There is also a "Hercules Head", "Muttonhead" to name others.

Awesome coin. How are you displaying your type set? I have always had trouble with it and went with 2x2s.
