<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2363702, member: 74282&quot;]Today I added another Republican bronze to my collection, one that would probably fit nicely into [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER]&#039;s awesome &quot;Animals&quot; collection: a Crawford 121/4 sow series semis. During the Republican period the Romans struck several different &quot;animal&quot; series, but during short this period from 206-195 B.C. they struck quite a few including the sow series shown here, a bull series, a ram series, a dog series and a series with a bird and a rudder. Unfortunately I don&#039;t have any examples of these series to share, but please, share any related coins you may have!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]482459[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic Æ Semis(25.2 mm, 19.73g).

The reverse says &quot;MM 90 [CANR?] 80&quot; - I&#039;m not sure if that&#039;s a reference to an auction(it&#039;s not M&amp;M Basel 90 as that was long after this auction edit: or maybe not) but if anyone has any ideas, please let me know!</p><p>[ATTACH]482460[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
