I've wanted one of these for a while and finally found the right coin.  This complements my gold piece and my new Pilgrim Token:

Interesting coin, I have not ever seen a follis like it. It is complex and attractive.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Simon.  Usually the undertype isn't nearly as clear, or the "overstike" isn't as well formed.  This one checked all the boxes!
