Thank you! The original pictures were rotated 90 degrees. I have never seen this coin in hand. The prow was a very good clue, but the way I...
Thanks @Ryro! I also thought directly to prow RR coins but I don't see the janiform head on the obverse. I am thinking more like a Saturn obverse....
Hello ladies and gentlemen, A colleague asked me to help him regarding a coin he found in Italy, decades ago. Unfortunately the conservation is...
That's a different league, by all means. True jewels! When I was very young I read a book by Dumas ("Ascanio") and Cellini is an important...

I think I can see M ANT ΓOPΔIAN on your coin but you should see better in hand.
