They are pretty common. Usually the pin is broken (and replaced for aesthetics, as with this one).

 

Just scratching the tip of the iceberg

 

nice and clear Fibula.

Hi TIF,

You were right about not seeing a fibula, at my denarius, although we do not know for sure, fibulae were not be on left shoulder.
I have the coin in hand and with fantasy it looks like a fibulae.
Whisfull thinking here i guess .

All the best,

Eric
