Nobody had a Visigothic one, I guess, and it's been nearly two days. So, I'll revive the thread with this one -- a FELICITAS with a caduceus:

Rev: FELICITAS AVG, Felicitas standing left, holding long vertical caduceus and cornucopia.
Refs: RIC 670; BMCRE 527-30; Cohen 10; RCV 8227; Banti 4.

Next: Sestertius with a squarish flan.

 

Severus Alexander ( it’s kind of squarish, no?)

Next: the coin that will be in the right pocket of your pants in your grave. ( sorry for the weird subject but the vino is very tasty tonight...)

 

I am hopefull for medical breakthrew....immortality

 

As of right now it would be my Edward III Treaty Period Groat that was minted in Calais. I love the coin for history it represents.


Next: A coin from a person who's name begins with the letter E.
