[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 1847950, member: 57495"]Thanks everyone for your comments and posting your own examples. Here's to more croc coins in our collections! Coincidentally, there's another croc coin coming up in an auction that closes in less than 24 hours. But unlike our poor chained Nemausus crocs, this one is defiantly unfettered. It was apparently a contemporary of some of the Nemausus issues and would make for an especially cool companion piece considering it was struck in the name of Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Antony and Cleopatra, whose defeat at the hands of Octavian the Nemausus type celebrates. They seem to be rather rare, and not at all cheap. If anyone's interested : [url]http://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=249625[/url][/QUOTE]
