<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1828964, member: 19463&quot;]Here are a few coins lest we think Pius was being original other than adding the legend Britannia.&nbsp; More common are seated left figures on a chair as with the Alexander tetradrachm series but Seleucid Apollos sat on the navel of the world (rock).&nbsp; Athena has an appropriately placed shield and holds something (Victory - Romans went for winning rather than peace???)&nbsp; out to the left.&nbsp; Nero&#039;s Roma is seated on a cuirass rather than a rock but there is a shield.&nbsp; Britannia of the UK coppers was just the latest in a long line of seated figures.&nbsp; I suspect all of these would have been familiar to an 18th century gentleman in the engraving business. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, none of my coins are proofs.</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH]301599[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]301600[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]301601[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301598[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301604[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
