FEL TEMP Friday! A Fallen Horseman thread.

I think we agree that a large soldier-spearing-fallen-horseman is more desirable than a small one. But, after you have a large one you can take on the challenge of getting a small one, for contrast. However, many small ones are crowded or somehow not nice. This one has full flan and good centering.



This is is only 17.1-16.3 mm and 2.15 grams. Repatinated.

This coin is in tribute to both coin friends we have lost recently. A FEL TEMP, fallen horseman, thinking of @randygeki which was a gift to me many years ago from @severusalexander. Rest in peace my friends.

This one is a small one : AE 13 mm, 2.90 g. It comes from Tunisia.

 

It’s nice to revive this thread.

Here’s a couple nicer smaller module FH coins from the Caesars.

Constantius Gallus - Aquileia


Julian II - Antioch

 

Coins are ruthless.

When I don't have the best coin to photograph, I compensate with a splash of colour.
