Thanks for showing the fine Silver Coin, @rus-lifestyle. I see there is some nice natural toning taking place. It can take Mother Nature decades to produce some of her artwork in natural toning.
That's true!
I enjoy these Late Holy Roman Empire coins, even the replicas (Hence the X after the date) the cultural elegance of the era along side the crazy politics and alliances of those times.
I got one of these replica/restrikes by a Hive Friend I haven't seen in a while.
Thanks for sharing
