[QUOTE="svessien, post: 7369718, member: 15481"]Congrats, [USER=87200]@ancient coin hunter[/USER] It’s always nice to receive a letter from the Leu:) I got one too recently, and was quite happy with the content. It didn’t contain any coins of your two mentioned rulers, and nor does my collection, though. But now they’re on the want-list at least. I did however receive a small Nero quadrans that I’d like to share: [ATTACH=full]1283978[/ATTACH] Nero, 54-68. Quadrans , Rome, circa 65. Obverse: NERO CLAV CAE AVG GER Crested helmet set to right on column; behind, transverse spear; to right, round shield bearing gorgoneion. Reverse[I]: [/I]IMP P P P M TR P / S - C Olive branch. Reference: BMC p. 256 note. Cohen -. RIC 317. Copper, 15 mm, 2.00 g, 1 h What I find intriguing about this coin, is that I think there is something looking like a theatre mask lying to the right of the column.[/QUOTE]
