(mines too worn to tell) my dolphin is swimming right though. the dolphin still retains some relief, if you start at 3 o'clock(that's where it's head/nose is) and follow the darker green curve/line the pointy bit in the top right quadrant is it's dorsal fin. it's so hard to get pictures to show what I can see with the coin in hand.
