Wow - very nice catch, Chris! Semunciae aren't exactly a dime-a-dozen.

 

I certainly have none. Good on ya.

 

Nice Chris, great lookin' coin, i like..

 

Wow => that's a very cool prow-coin laying on that mighty fine lookin' table, my friend (nice combo!!)


... I have a few prow-coins, but I must admit that I don't have a Semuncia prow-coin (well played)
