    I showed this coin to my wife, who described its reverse as "the victorious Venus brandishing vacuum and duster"! Now I cannot see a shield set on a helmet, but only a Hoover upright.

    Post your coins that look like something other than the catalog description!

    The death of Marcus Aurelius is memorialized with a lovely wedding cake.
