[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 4181080, member: 41219"]I just got this Gallienus in the mail today. One of my favorite reverses is Britania seated with her shield and trident. So when I saw this coin, of course I had to place a bid. I lucked out and was the only bidder and he came home to me for only $7.99. I wonder how many other "modern" coins we can match with their ancient counterparts. If you have any, I'd love to see them! Ancient Classic: Gallienus Billon Antoninianus Cyzicus mint Obverse: GALLIENVS AVG, radiate, draped bust right Reverse: ROMAE AETERNAE, Roma seated left on shield, holding Victory and spear. Star in upper left field. [ATTACH=full]1075271[/ATTACH] "Modern" Take: 1799 Great Britain Farthing [ATTACH=full]1075273[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
