Hey, Can I request an avatar of this?
Also, can you edit the picture so that it says "World's Second Antimony Coin" on it?
Thanks.

First, it'll probably make the admin/mod's job easier if you edited it yourself.

Second, you do know that isn't a "coin", right?

Very cool, where did you get this? Also what was the first antimony coin?

I'm not sure why someone would want to make a coin out of antimony but I suppose for an element collection it is a neat form to have it in.

The first (and so far only) actual circulating coin made of antimony was made in China in the 1930s. NGC database entry. As you can see, originals aren't cheap, and as with all Chinese rarities, counterfeits abound. They used antimony because the province that issued them had antimony mines, but no copper or nickel mines.

0xDA71D, once the picture is shrunk down to avatar size, such a large amount of writing is probably going to be shrunk down to illegibility, unless the words are written across the medal itself. You might want to try photoshopping the words onto there yourself, where you want them, to give us some idea of the effect you're aiming for.
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

I guess "medal" would be a better name that "antimony disk"
What happened to that one? It looks like it slid across a sidewalk.
