I guess the color went out on my tablet? It ain't yeller! Ok, I guess I can accept that it's not gold, just different from what you normally post, lol. But, I don't think I've ever seen one like it? That doesn't mean a lot, but it looks really good for 136BC!
I had no idea Rome ever struck Platinum coins: or else lower electrum? If I didn't know you better I'd have guessed a silver denarius but I know it can't be. Oh what's the 6h mean? I know it's some sort of orientation but never figured out exactly which.
6h= die axis obverse/ reverse opposite. No/ Imperial Russia struck first platinum coinage in late 1820s. Silver is a nice metal too!
