As a 19 year old collector and meme lover, I need this coin I know it's a bit specific, but show us any coins that represent memes
Not exactly coin related, but this thread seems to be the most relevant to post some of the memes I made! Augustus after hearing the news from Teutoburg forest. Co-emperorships Be Like Poor Sabina! No One Conquers The Tamil Kings. - Deleted by Moderator (language) -
The legends are gibberish, identifying the coin as a barbarous imitation. The OP coin imitates something like this one: Victorinus, AD 269-271. Roman billon antoninianus, 2.29 g, 20.1 mm, 6 h. Cologne, AD 270-271. Obv: IMP C VICTORINVS P F AVG, radiate and draped bust, right. Rev: INVICTVS, Sol advancing left, raising right hand and holding whip in left; * in left field. Refs: RIC 114; Cohen 49; RCV 11170; De Witte 27; Hunter 7.
Yeah, I know. I think it's listed as a Postumus barbarous coin, and the legends slightly match that of Postumus. I don't actually have a barbarous coin of Postumus yet (lots of Victorinus, Tetricus etc, but no Postumus), which is another reason why I want this coin
Remember when @TIF Rick-rolled us with all those Gallienus portraits? https://www.cointalk.com/threads/quiz-roman-provincial-portrait-quiz-2.321132/ https://www.cointalk.com/threads/quiz-roman-provincial-portrait-quiz-2.321132/page-3#post-3153587
Thanks for bringing up that quiz! I re-read the thread and relived the fun . .... Unrelated, here's a fun cartoon I recently saw. Bastet isn't depicted on any ancient coins but here's a semi-kitty . EGYPT, Alexandria. Domitian Æ obol; 17.5 mm, 3.40 gm RY 11 (91/92 CE) Obv: laureate head right Rev: Andro-Sphinx seated right; L A in exergue Ref: Dattari (Savio) 570-1 var. (same); K&G 24.181 var.

I affectionately call this reverse the Spaghetti Victory. Bears a resemblance to a certain old master painter...
This quote from Rick and Morty hits me hard as a collector of often obscure Provincials... "I'm not gonna tell you that these will increase in value, or even hold their their current value. The truth is, you bought them because you like them. They have value to you! That's what matters."
