Great group and #1 is #1 but I would have preferred the nymph kissing a snake to the cowabunga unless the obverse was not as nice as the side...
I might not say 'arbitrary' but we have to remember that some of these coins were issued over a rather long time and separating them into groups...
[ATTACH] It is hard to find one with full legend but I bought this one because it has the top line intact. I prefer it to the one I lost at...
I thought I had about a thousand coins in that category until I realized that I might rather see who they went to than to find out you really cant...

Each zoo coin ears a legend honoring a god as conservator of the emperor. In the various post above we have seen several different. I'll add a...
2017 was a really, really big year here - I mean really. I added 118 coins to my catalog and a small handfull that was sold through John Anthony...
Peroz in in the middle of the Sasanian group. His coins may not be as spectacular as some of the early ones but they have a good feel compared to...
