Back in the Eighty's I made this, I found it 2 weeks ago and it has sparked a desire to collect the MA Legionary Denarius, Very impressed with @Bing colection.

 

The rampant introduction of fakes to the series, along with fairly high prices, has pretty much scared me off the series.

I have an unphotographed and typically decrepit (slick) example, purchased in the 1990's.

I hope my c. 2011 one is ok.
