<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 7965523, member: 83845&quot;]Thank for the kind words [USER=90248]@Spaniard[/USER] ! That is a great A-Pi example. I like how it spells out the number explicitly.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I only have two eastern mint denarii of Severus Alexander which I show in the OP but I agree that these are interesting coins.

Shows how important coins are for reconstructing details of the past. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1381090[/ATTACH] </p><p>The coins falling into the toga is a great detail that reinforces the coin representation. </p><p><br /></p><p>Great coin additions. I like the coins flowing out of the cornucopia example but I am glad the engravers eventually decided on a design that included the counting board. Cornucopias are great but so ubiquitous that a bit of variety adds a lot to the interest for me. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice coin [USER=79017]@Andres2[/USER] !</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the info. At some point I may have walked right past this and didn’t even notice it. Italy has too many cool things to look at. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice coins and great example of a spelling error to go along with Doug’s.&nbsp; Yours looks to be official though which is cool.&nbsp; Kevin from Quality Control strikes again <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing Z!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is a very beautiful example with some nice toning. Unfortunate that the dots in the counting board are worn though. Thanks for sharing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
