    One comment: Although I said father and son on the OP post, if any of you want to make it father and daughter instead, that's ok too. Father's day is after all about fathers and all their children.

    I just thought father/son might be easier to allow for maximum participation from members here, but you don't have to limit yourself to that alone if you don't want to.

    Thanks, Oz. Since I have 6 daughters, it feels good to toss out a Father-Daughter Combo:

    Severus Alexander find me at NumisForums

    Yeah, a Constantine / Crispus combo wouldn't quite fit with the spirit of the day. :)

    Happy Fathers Day to all... :)

    It seems like everyone's been trying to avoid it for being too obvious, but its all I have... Constantine the Great, Constantine II, and Crispus.

    Here is another father son coin followed by a coin featuring a father and both his son and daughter. Both are rare coins of Vitellius.


    In this first one Vitellius is the son. The reverse features the father Lucius Vitellius.
