I went shopping for my Christmas present back in early December. Well if I don't do it who will ?

Anyway I found this one off in faraway Spain. My friend Antonio not only let me do a "layaway" but 3 payments and I was good to go shortly after New Years !
Then the wait .......

The postman came pounding on my door yesterday. He was by now accustomed to meeting me at the door but being Saturday I was ...... in my office !

Well worth the wait

Nice coin. I like the contrast between the field and the design.
