<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 4966063, member: 81093&quot;]Hi all</p><p><br /></p><p>As per my other threads, I have been seeking to expand my Roman Republican collection (beyond my avatar coin) in 2020.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have made decent progress, acquiring 5 new RR coins. I have posted some of these individually already. But, I think I have purchased the last for the year now, so am posting them all together.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here they are:</p><p><br /></p><p>(apologies for the photo on this one, I really did try my best - couldn&#039;t quite get it into focus/bring out the detail)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1193664[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>AE half litra</b></p><p>REPUBLIC, Anonymous, (c.235-230 B.C.)</p><p>Weight: 1.42g</p><p>Obv: head of Roma right wearing Phrygian helmet</p><p>Rev: dog walking to right with left foreleg raised, ROMA in exergue, (S.598, Cr.26/4, Syd.22, BMC 44).

I doubt this will be achieved this year. The hardest, by a long shot, will be the gold RR coin. I think I&#039;m going to have 9/10 RRs for a looooong time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next major task, beyond acquiring an additional 3 RRs (+1 gold RR), will be the WRE collection (395 to 476 AD). </p><p><br /></p><p>Please feel free to share your RRs!</p><p><br /></p><p>AC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
