It looked like something a middle school kid came up with in an arts and crafts workshop class.

 

That's pretty cool, but you should see the dress TIF made. Unfortunately I don't have a pic of it handy.

@TIF Interesting right?

 

It's on my website I made a collage of my coins, had it printed on knit fabric yardage, and sewed a couple of garments to wear at the 2014 Chicago ANA show .

Now that's what I call packaging.

 

I do not have that kind of wax, but I could not pass on a coin with a similar name! I was unaware of this moneyer until I bought the coin last year. I have several in auctions since then.

Rev - Prow right, TVRD ligate above, I before
C. Papirius Turdus Æ As, 24.84g, 31mm, 12h. Good Fine.
Crawford 193/1.
BMCRR – Rome 796 – 798

Per Grueber: The Turdi were a branch of the Papiria Gens. Livy mentions a C. Papirius Turdus, who was Tribune of the Plebs in 178 BC. The coin may have been minted by his son (and thus the name attribution). This moneyer produced bronze coins Sextans to As, but no silver or gold coins.
