<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1374157, member: 5739&quot;]Seems I solved the mystery of why mine looks different than the one linked to on here.... I found an identical one to mine, it sold for $36 USD, but had a scratched and smoothed&nbsp; obv, but a nicer rev, with the numerals at 12 o clock very visible. It has the same Nilus, not lying on a croc though, like mine his body is flat with the ground with his elbow resting on an animal, here is the description:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot; Reverse: Nilus reclining left, cornucopiae emerging from naval , reed behind,left elbow resting on Hippopotamus, in exergue L ΔWΔΕΚ &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>A Hippopotamus would have probably been my last guess as to what Nilus was resting his elbow on...... heh, and I thought it might be a Sphinx. Well I like it alot, a nice large bronze for my collection, and my first non-silver Roman coin of Alexandria, Egypt. It has a great color and patina too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
