Obviously, I bought the coin 99% for the reverse. I no longer mind the obverse, though!

 

there's two sides of every coin eh Donna?!(i'm wif ya! )

 

Thank you. I really enjoy it also. I believe it is the First silver series of coin minted at the Rome Mint.

 

DOGGY!!!

 

This is an early one on a half litra Cr 26/4 dating 234-231 BC. Doggy on the reverse.

 

Nice depiction on a 5.5 gram weighing antoninianus of Trajan Decius RIC 8b
