Metellus denarii?&nbsp; What does &quot;restored issue&quot; mean?&nbsp; Did that moneyer serve again 45-50 years later?&nbsp; That seems unlikely-- possible, but very unlikely.&nbsp; Was it struck by a family member with the same name?&nbsp; By someone unrelated?&nbsp; Why is it called a &quot;restored&quot; issue when the obverse is different?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have one coin from the era in question and have recorded it as 131 BCE.&nbsp; It was an unattributed blind purchase in a large mixed lot.&nbsp; Initially I wasn&#039;t too keen on the coin but it has grown on me and will be staying in my collection <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ae43f8_2abd20b9b2494eeca102ec3358de445f.jpg/v1/fit/w_800,h_413,q_75/ae43f8_2abd20b9b2494eeca102ec3358de445f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Roman Republic, moneyer L.
