Especially considering the size.
I'm jealous and disappointed in Anoob for not giving me the heads up first! Hrmf!! Great pickup little brother
I don't collect these "modern" coins and medals, but I appreciate these and your write up.
Very nice ET (I know it should read ES, but I couldn't resist)
Randy, that's a great portrait. I was looking at a similar lion on another coin, but it got too expensive for me.
WC: it does look like a trident, but I don't think it is.
RB: It's my understanding that by the time Gallienus had sole reign, his coins were very debased and only silver washed. That is why I went for...
Thanks. Too bad the coin is not in better shape like yours. Is your coin solid silver or silver wash?

Double K, you're welcome. Is there anything else you wish to know? This is a common enough issue and not worth a lot even in the best of...
Just got this one in the mail along with one other I will post separately. Antonius Pivs AE25 OBV: AVTO KAI TI AIL ADRI ANTWNINOC CEEBV,...
I love the coin from Rhodes. The "rose" has a special meaning to people in the intelligence community.
Nice coins Rudi. I wish I could answer your question Valentinian. That is one intriguing countermark.
