    Ha! The river god, Rhinus, does look rather Krampus-esque, doesn't he?

    Krampus was supposed to have drowned and/or eaten naughty children. On the coin, he's shown in a reclining pose, just having a bit of a rest after supper. :vamp:

    That's such a cool reverse type, I had to gift one to myself for Christmas and I bought one from @Victor_Clark at his V-Coins store!

    Ho ho ho... nice one too! I bet that’s the first time Krampus ever sold an ancient coin. :D
