Valiamo Valued Member Canada 122 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 10:12 pm A second coin from the box in the safe. this one has a old brass feeling to it, it is 30mm and weights 19.1 grams. Pings like an old cartwheel penny or a kopeck. The reverse looks like 4 horses galloping infront of a chariot, with a figure flying overhead. Report this Post to the Staff
