I love the crocodile tied to palm tree reverse - symbolising the Roman capture of Egypt (?).</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anybody else have coins of this type? If so, please post them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or do you have any more info about this type?</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine is worn, but it has character - i love the green patina and light green highlights.</p><p><br /></p><p>cheers</p><p>Greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
