Nice! Great neck-beard on this one!
Great examples, everyone! Thanks! I'm intrigued by @John Anthony 's theory: The inscription APOLLINI CONSERVATORI AVGVSTI (to Apollo, the...
Great write-up at your link. I'll have to be on the look out for coins of this series.
Yours DOES resolve the issue--it's clearly bagpipes depicted on your coin!
