As I recall, this type is special as the first Roman coin honoring an accomplishment of the man who issued it rather than his ancestor. The...
I believe #2 would be my favorite but I hope you can upgrade the photo of the reverse.
Good group! While I do not collect them, the bracteate has special appeal.
The common Saturn is the obverse type of Republican semises. [ATTACH]
The Nikomedia FH does have an exceptionally well detailed barbarian. My example is more even with a head on the soldier but much worse detail on...
Once upon a time, Bing's coin was mine. I got it in 1991 from Frank Robinson who was selling pairs of 'countermarked' coins of this type where...
