Piso Gading

Hello Emanuel,

I do understand your thought, and probably a pommel cap is missing indeed. But a Dutch coin is not by definition used as a pommel cap and are seldom seen as such.

It's not that common with coins on these piso. I think it's supposed to look just like it is.
It's not a Piso Gading (gading is ivory) but a nice Piso Halasan - congratulations!

That's fair Henk

I'll keep it as it is.

Thanks Michael for the differentiation. Does Halasan refer specifically to the antler hilt?
