Hi quad,

Nice coin!!!

Welcome to the man-faced bull club! :)

You will be receiving a membership card from Achelous soon, along with instructions on how to properly harness the special powers that have now been bestowed upon you by Achelous himself. ;D

One more reference for you to add: MSP I, 478  ;D  (that's if you're sure there is a star behind Zeus)
