Title
Mardi Gras dubloon showing TH
Description
2006 Mardi Gras dubloon showing TH. Mobile: Order of Myths. "The Fables of Aesop." $15 from buy1selz2 through Ebay, May, '22.
A very happy tortoise crosses the finish line while a hurrying hare tries to catch up. The verso offers a fascinating scene. Folly has been chasing Death; at the end of Mardi Gras parade, Folly defeats Death. The Order of Myths was founded in 1867, though the maker of this coin thought it was 1868. The Order of Myths was the oldest order to celebrate Mardi Gras in Mobile, Alabama.
