I think I'll spare you my catching up with Nero, Galba, Otho and Vitellius - it would throw LordM's nice sequential thread to the wind....
Very Nice. If I am not mistaken, that 2 Reales is from a Spanish Peninsular mint? i.e not from the one of the New World mints.

I hope you guys allow me to catch up a bit - (I missed all of Nero, Galba, Otho and Vitellius because we were at the beach...) My three favourite...

Congratulations on a scarce Vitellius! A nice, endearing type as well. I had a 'thing' about Vitellius ever since I found these denarii two a...
I first posted the first one about 6 years ago, but it was a bit inconclusive. Maybe one of the new members knowledgeable in the series can...
