An impressive exhibition of Mars in this thread! what a delight!

On some coins mars seems to be sneaking away, like on the Victorinus in the OP and the ones from @Andres2 - please don't take it wrong, I'm just joking

Being a little late to the party I think this is my best Mars (also not a too bad picture):
