    A very rare variety of Crawford 222/1; the only die on which Diana holds two torches rather than only a single one:

    Thanks for posting that link...I had forgotten how many 'animals' there were in the 'zoo series'.

    Wonderful example!!! The first I recall seeing of the two held torches.

    Thanks for the link, but I'm still a bit rattled ...

    ummm, I'm definitely not going to collect every mint's stag (I'm gonna pick one cool example of each animal, right?)

    => how many different zoo-animals are there?

    ... gawd, I must have tried 20 different approaches, but I still couldn't dodge the coin-crap and get a decent "total number of animals"

    c'mon ... one of you youngsters must have the skilz to quickly get me answer, eh? (I feel like a big ol whale trapped in a goldfish bowl!!)

    *help me*

    So, that's it? => those "13" animals are all of the Gallienus zoo-animals? (thanks)
