Dear Engipress,

You have uploaded the picture of 156.1

I want to see the picture of 156.2 which is supposed to be the mule of the coin you have posted . This mule is being touted as one of the rarest mule.

In that case, the wish remains unfulfilled.

Type "A" is the biggest lion whose head almost touches the rim of the coin.

Here's one trick.

Go to the same dealer. Ask him if he would pay even half of the price he has quoted  if you are offering the same coin to him. Certainly he won't.
