None of mine show the snake so nicely as on this example of Mat&#039;s though, I know it isn&#039;t really fair to compare designs from Republic coins and Empire coins..... like apples and oranges. </p><p>I also think it is just awesome that the bust on the obverse is of Salus too.... that is very cool!</p><p><br /></p><p>I see the &#039;M.J.B.
