<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2334967, member: 75525&quot;]My favorite owl coin is (of course) RR:</p><p>[ATTACH]473815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]473816[/ATTACH]&nbsp; This type is often poorly struck: off center, uneven strike (like this one), dies worn, high points not fully struck, etc. I like this one because it has a reasonably good owl. The coin was probably struck for one of Julius Caesar&#039;s triumphs. I have two of the three denarii issued by this moneyer, and am looking for Cupid on a dolphin. My standards have crept up and I have not found a good example for a good price.</p><p>Roman Republican Denarius, 46 BC</p><p>Mint - Rome; Moneyer - MN,CORDIVS.RVFVS (Manius Cordius Rufus)</p><p>Obv - Corinthian helmet with crest on which an owl stands, behind - RVFVS </p><p>Rev -&nbsp;&nbsp; Octagonal Aegis of Minerva with head of Medusa in the center.
