There's also one pictured on the Wikipedia page for this ruler, although there they actually show the reverse, which depicts St Wenceslas. 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
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3342 Posts	Posted 07/20/2013 08:13 am I like the readability of the groschen, especially the full pragenses grossi, which is badly struck on the ones I have. But I've seen better struck lions. I'd pay $50-100. I haven't bought one for a while so have no idea of current fair value. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
