Well, whaddya know! I was just admiring that coin yesterday and thought, "what a fabulous coin". Trust Heather to buy it.

It's probably in the online Moushmov catalogue.

You've got my vote (and I haven't even sized up your competiton yet).

Yah I checked online Moushmov too. Didn't see it, so I tacked on the Moushmov - to the other references it's not in. Someone is sure to find it in one of the obscure bulgarian refs, but apparently it's not in the biggies.
Someone yesterday told me they saw it at a coin show and it looks better in person. We shall see. :)

I can just see Jupiter in this scene.. "Now see here ladies, we have some work that hasn't been done yet. So get cracking!"
