Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 12/22/2025 9:00 pm @chirrs, I have another request of you. I know that you are saying that this (and a couple other coins) are uniface, but would you mind adding images of the reverses to these threads? My concern is that the other side may look blank, but actually the coin isn't uniface either due to incomplete die filling, circulation wear, or a combination of factors. I ask for this information because this coin vaguely looks like the obverse of a silver obol of Ottokar II ("crowned bust of ruler facing between foliage"), but there should be a crowned griffin on the reverse according to Szego. Added: In addition to the edge chipping, I see a crack in this flan so please be extra careful as you are handling this coin.

You should be able to download it from the interwebs.
