[QUOTE="Lane Walker, post: 4008169, member: 92357"]Very few Roman Republic coins in my collection but this one at-auction recently was too beautiful to pass up, (not to mention one of the few that I was lucky enough to actually win). I'm just so smitten with Mercury in this coin and and the beautiful green patina! [FONT=Courier New]Roman Republic / AE, 20mm, 7.0gm / 217-215 BC Obv: Bust of Mercury right, wearing winged petasos Rev: Prow of galley right, ROMA above[/FONT] [IMG]https://i.redd.it/nwt87pmojtb41.png[/IMG] If anyone out there is familiar with this type or can help me isolate the mint I would really appreciate it! I understand that it is anonymous. Would the author's mark generally be under the prow? Also, the previous attribution puts this at 217-215 BC and I'm unsure why exactly?
