It's pretty hideous but I'd also have gleefully bought that coin-- it's a very interesting reverse, one I wish I had :).
I'm having trouble imagining what I see as damnatio defacement but regardless of that it is an above average Caligula/Vesta!

I might give them try but audio books and things drive me nuts because I can read so much faster than anyone can talk, so I don't like the extra...
Anything Asian/Islamic/medieval is out of my league :(. It doesn't look like anything I've seen before, but that doesn't mean much in this case.
Fantastic example of the type, @Svarog! I don't recall seeing one so well struck before.
Here's another M you can check off the list, @Pavlos : Megalopolis. [IMG] ARKADIA, Arkadian League 340-330 BC, Megalopolis mint AR Obol, 11 mm,...
