These serrati are an interesting style--to foil clipping the silver content?  Great Gryphon too--lots of life!  |

I just realised that this coin was one I had been keeping an eye on and trying to decide on pulling the trigger. I guess if you snooze then it's gone. I didn't have the funds anyway....
