Great gift from your dad! Don't have one of my own to share.

 

I recognized the picture as Roma numis, i like it on silver coins.

JA, your perfect coin:

A Nabatean RR denarius---you must be drooling

I certainly am---but my budget is way past stretching until the end of August....

 

See DUUuuude! THAT is why I like RR's!!!

 

red_spork! Awesome gift from a wonderful father! May you receive many more! I love Pre-retarif too. When they retarifed they went to an XVI then created the Asterisk style crossed-X. It actually represented the XVI in their cool way of combining letters... You can see the X, a V above the Cross, and the Cross is the I.

 

Very nice!
