I have it in my blood bad.

My addiction to Iberian coins is getting bad.
Today I added my fourth different variation of
a Castulo quadrans ( quarter unit ) with the wild boar reverse.
listed in order with the newest one first.

Oh, that's not bad! I'll tell you what's bad...I have a dog named Minton. He destroyed all my shuttlecocks!!!

Bad Minton!

No, you just have an admirable "issue" for which a cure has yet to be found!

nice hogs!

Most of my quadrans have a prow on the back.



but not all, I have one

 

Those are very nice. Will you clean them anymore than they are?

 

I am addicted to Spanish AV Medieval coins/ Visigoths/ Bourbon Rulers....

 

Cool coins @bcuda

I understand why you find them addictive. I have only one and I love it
