I watched it. My computer hasn't blown up. Wait, no, where's that smoke coming from? LOL ;) Pretty coins, though since they're all mostly...
Not too late to post the one you were going to, since we're still on the "heads on both sides" theme...
Thanks. Love the series. Don't think I've seen that one.
Wow, is that really heads on both sides? In that case, whose head is that on the reverse? [ATTACH] Those Visigothic coins sure do look bizarre....
Love it! :P Speaking of Victories and fanciful pareidolia, check out the space shuttle on the reverse of this Nero dupondius. See it there,...
How about Vabalathus from the Palmyrene Empire? Seen here sharing a coin with his frenemy Aurelian. [IMG] (Coin from my old 2007-08 collection-...
Yep, that's all I came up with, too, but struck out on azumbre, adarme, and castellano when it came to looking for actual examples of such coins....

Never heard of a tomin. Toman, yes, but that's not Spanish. (I wonder if they have similar root words.)
Yes! Cabbages. I would prefer cabbages as my subjects. They don't get quite so ornery and stabby if you forget to water them. People have told...
Being a usurper must have felt like having a tiger by the tail. First your troops are elevating you to the throne, then when there's trouble on...
@Pavlos- thank you. Maybe it is a misattribution, then, and it's a coin after all? I do recall thinking it looked much more like 2nd century BC...
@Carl Wilmont- Thanks. That was the sort of information I was wondering about. (And had mostly heard before, but was just a bit vague on.)
:hilarious: (I don't think I have any centaur or medusa coins.)
Only 2 years? I find myself surprised. Seems like you've always been here. The "turning water into wine" motif on that apparently 17th century...
