[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 2371091, member: 54140"]It has been a very long time since my last purchase. Looking back on my records it has been approximately ten months. 2015 was a pretty difficult year financially but with careful budgeting (and a little help from my tax return) I have finally managed to get everything under control and carve out a very tiny coin budget. I was really attracted to the obverse of this coin since it isn't the typical portrait you see, or I feel like you see, everywhere. I am shamelessly using the auction houses photos since I do not have the coin in hand yet and my photo skills are lackluster anyway. I haven't had time to look into the attribution any further so let me know if you think there should be any amendments.

VICT GERM, Victory walking left holding wreath and palm, captive at foot. RIC V-1 404. Hopefully there will be more to come soon![/QUOTE]
