What a sweet Tadpole #4 looking very skeptical at the world, like thinking hmmm, what is all this about.

Congratulations to you and your family.

Don't have a coin with an empress and 4 children, so I had to look for one refering to the number 4 . This one with 4 as mark of value is what I have:

Æ Triens, Lucania, Paestum (Poseidonia), ca. 218 - 200 BC
Ob.: Laureate female head right; •••• (mark of value) to left



Rev.: ΠAI(Σ) Cornucopia,CN• EV

Here's one for the 'golden boy'. (just finished reimaging it).

 

Home and improving health is great news. Congrats.

I have suggestions on a nickname.
T-4 since he's the fourth tadpole

... or....

T-REX
T for Tadpole and REX for your interest in ancient coins. (Sure hope they have REX on some ancients. LOL)
Put them together and you have quite the fighter just like The T-Rex..

 

Congratulations!

To commemorate the birth of your son in the month of January, here is Janus himself:

Welcome to the youngest tadpole, and congrats, ff. He's looking good!

The mama on the reverse below is surrounded by four little tykes representing the bounties of gold, silver, grain and wine... all of which I hope you and your family will have plenty of.

very good news! ...

 

Congratulations on your new treasure.
He is a handsome little fellow. Wishing your family and it's latest member all the best.

 

Glad to see that the tadpole made it back to the pond. Great addition to the family.

 

Pleased he is home safe & well.

I have already nicknamed him Artemis Clyde

The Reverse image of this coin seems appropriate

Macrinus

 

That is an interesting coin. I've never seen the reverse before so I had to find it. I think it is perfectly fitting!:
CEΛEYKEΩN KAΛYKAΔNΩ beneath and around the infant Dionysos seated facing on throne, three Kuretes (the Korybantes) around, making a noise to drown his crying

 

Hearty congratulations, @furryfrog02, and all of you folks!
...Wow. This is how it went from here. For some strange reason, I was moved to check CoinTalk before the daily gauntlet of BBC and CNN. Boy, am I glad I did! Starting the day with some Good news makes for a heck of a different gestalt.
Just, All, Serious, Main Best.

 

Really pleased to hear you're home now and the little one is on the right trajectory. All the best mate.

 

So glad to hear he’s doing better. Prayers do help and I along with other members have been praying for all of you.

Now that he has his first coin, the one you bought in the waiting room, what’s his next one? Lol

 

Congrats furry frog , Felicitas (happiness) fits in well imho

 

Really happy to hear that everything is going well now. Hope you guys can get some rest in the next few weeks.
