The only reason I bought this coin. Condition-wise it's actually a turd of a coin, but the coin itself was issued by someone named Turd, aka C. Papirius Turdus! This coin was being listed multiple times by a local ebay seller for a long time with no one bidding it, even I have skipped it for being too worn, until last week I took a closer look, the only attributable element is the name of the moneyer C. Papirius Turdus written as TVRD. I just want to have it for fun, ended up wining it for the opening bid of $10. AE as C. Papirius Turdus 169-158 BC Laureate head of Janus; I above / Prow of galley right; I to right, TVRD above 26.10 g, 32 mm Please share you coins with funny names!
A friend of mine has that coin and then got my As with a donkey on the top deck. That would mean he has 2 Asses, one with a turd and one with an ass. Is that like a quadruple entendre?
