Horses galore...

Saturday of this last weekend was my first time to the MOON Show in the Minneapolis, MN area. I went with no particular idea of what to expect, but after my normal "one-time-through browse", I stopped back at the few tables that caught my eye. In the end, I only purchased one coin for the day, but it was one that was on my want-list for quite some time.

I found a nice example of a Half Crown that features the small rendition of St. George Slaying the Dragon on the reverse splitting the date (see close-up image below). The fact that St. George is on a horse is one draw for my collecting niche -- another draw is that I simply have a hard time saying no to a coin with this amount of eye appeal that also pictures Queen Victoria. It was a nice perk that it was also a better date of the small half crown Jubilee Head series.

This coin also marks a pretty significant milestone in my horses collection -- number 200! I'm glad to have such a striking coin as the 200th addition to my custom collection. As always, I will post the full size images on the Chat Boards for all to see.

Thanks for looking!
