<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2726653, member: 74282&quot;]A little over a year ago I shared <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/newp-sicilian-mint-anonymous-victoriatus.275899/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/newp-sicilian-mint-anonymous-victoriatus.275899/">this fully-anonymous victoriatus from Sicily</a>, an example of Cr. 70/1. Until recently, it was my only Victoriatus from the island, but I&#039;ve now added a second example, Cr. 67/1. While evidence suggests both types were minted on Sicily, the type I&#039;m sharing today was almost certainly engraved by different engravers and comes from a different mint on the island. This type is consistently somewhat clumsily executed and always has a trophy with a skirt with greaves(the two things hanging down below the skirt on either side of the post), a feature that is unique to this particular mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]619007[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republic AR Victoriatus(16 mm, 2.98g).
