The quality of the photo is incredible,

Great photo, Pierre! Details of relief and scratches are clearly visible. Very well done! Interesting object. The figures on the coin are 1293 (according to our chronology - 1876). Perhaps this coin is from the Ottoman Empire? Congratulations! Sincerely, Tatiana

Knowledgeable Tatiana! Yes, it's all true! Thank you very much! PDE

Magnificent macro work, Pierre - - Aside from the textural variety, what imp[resses me most is your restraint with respect to the saturation level. Have a grand 2018! - - My best always, michael

Thank you, Michael! The saturation level is maybe low because of the RAW CR2 file used! It simply looses saturation in the process and I don't complain, ha! Happy New Year to you too! PDE
