<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2540530, member: 74282&quot;]I won this coin in the most recent Agora auction but haven&#039;t had a chance to photograph and post until today. This comes from one of the earliest emissions of the Rome mint during the Second Punic War, shortly after the introduction of the denomination as part of the denarius system. This particular example has a beautiful dark, shiny hoard patina(with a few thicker spots that you can see around the chin) that my picture just barely does justice to. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]544367[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic AR Quinarius(2.17g).
