Looks like soldier with spear and globe possibly standing on something on reverse. I couldn't find it on Zeno. Will soon see if Sap is busy on a Sunday afternoon!

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1617 Posts	Posted 12/01/2024 12:52 am Thanks Tanman. Great work and yes, it is a cool coin, especially now I have an ID. Must admit, has to be the smallest dolphin I've ever seen! Thanks also for the link to the RPC site. I didn't know it existed until now. Will bookmark it for future reference.
