[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8207688, member: 80952"]Very nice examples. I like coins with animal reverses and I try to get as many as I can. Have quite a few and really proud of them. I know about the Domitian rhino quadrantes but all the examples I have seen in auctions were much inferior compared to the examples on this thread (one some you couldn't even guess it was a rhino there, because of the wear) but the prices went too high up. So still waiting for a decent one that my wallet would also find decent. Here is my latest zoological addition. Not a rarity - but I was content to get this, at a low price. The coin has beautiful toning and I liked Salonina's portrait. But what I liked most was the animal reverse, a "reply" to the zoo series issued for her husband. [ATTACH=full]1438921[/ATTACH] RIC states Salonina AD 254-268. Rome Antoninianus Æ 20 mm, 3,00 g COR SALONINA AVG, bust of Salonina, diademed, draped, right, on crescent / IVNONI CONS AVG, doe, walking left RIC V Salonina (2) 16 However I could distinguish on my example that the head of an animal doesn't look too much like a doe. I checked other examples, from better dies, and my opinion stands. Other descriptions found for this coin: "Goat standing left", "Bearded and antlered goat walking l.", "combined goat and stag standing left".[/QUOTE]
