[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2948562, member: 44316"]Sometimes you can't determine your top ten for the year until near the end of the year. This coin arrived today (December 28): [ATTACH=full]719712[/ATTACH] Large! [B]35 mm[/B]. 26.00 grams. DIVO AVGVSTO SPQR above elephant quadriga with four mahouts pulling ornate car with Augustus seated left. Large SC inside legend beginning at 11:30: TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST PM TRPOT XXXVII TRP year 37, that is 35-36 AD. Struck by Tiberius. Sear 1784, BMC Tiberius 125, RIC 62. There are quite a few Greek coins with elephants and some Roman and Roman provincial coins with elephants. It would make an interesting theme, but I don't know of anyone seriously collecting elephant types to get them all. Do you know anyone who has made a list of them and is checking it twice? Show us your elephants![/QUOTE]
