<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 3191682, member: 57495&quot;]I came across this picture on Twitter some time ago, but have no idea where it&#039;s from.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]824138[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A paragraph from this <a href="https://frieze.com/article/more-money-more-problems" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://frieze.com/article/more-money-more-problems" rel="nofollow">webpage</a> seems to describe the one on the right: </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<i>At the British Museum’s ‘Defacing the Past: damnation and desecration in Imperial Rome’, visitors can see a number of defaced coins, including a brass sestertius issued during Maximinus’s rule that was later reworked to depict his brutal death. A pole has been carved out of the coin’s original surface just below Maximinus’s head, his eyes are pecked by a bird with a razor-sharp beak, and a worm wriggles out of the back of his skull. On the reverse, another head on a pole has been fashioned out of what was previously a representation of Victory.</i>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Both are tooled coins I&#039;d be happy to own. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
