Seller's Note/ As mentioned above, this a very rare coin and NOT found on WildWinds nor V-Coins! Why such a low price? The answer is two fold:The first reason is that it was included in a group lot from our friends in the Balkans for a very low price. The second reason is that we're not greedy and simply pleased to list it at this low cost to our NRC members!
