    This coin is pretty cool, but I can't help thinking the reverse looks like an old guy telling 3 kids to get off his lawn.

    Wow ro1974 => that's a very cool coin!! (I'm totally jealous, for I'd love to put it next to my example)

    I have the "before" coin .... apparently, you have the "after" coin

    somebody must have said the wrong thing and pissed-off Commodus!!?


    BEFORE
    Commodus Sestertius.jpg


    AFTER
    after.jpg


    => "beat it, all three of you!!"

    Although, Image no. 3 is beautiful, Image no. 2 appeals most to me.

    Now your avatar is most excellent!
