[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7561926, member: 80952"]I posted these before, as threads with pigs keep returning on CT. But I am certainly not bothered, as it's one of my favorite menus ... ahem, I mean reverse types and coin themes. This was the coin that made me switch completely to ancients. [ATTACH=full]1303827[/ATTACH] Titus AD 79-81. Rome Denarius AR 20 mm., 2,43 g. Obverse Legend: T CAESAR VESPASIANVS Type: Head of Titus, laureate, right Reverse Legend: IMP XIII Type: Sow left, with three piglets RIC Vespasian 986 I had some coins in my collection but I wasn't sure I want to start an ancient coins collection for good. Saw this, found out it's not rare, not too expensive, won it, became an ancients coin fan :) And a coin with a pig (well, boar, but ...) along with 3 friends: a tunny fish (who was too shy and didn't want to appear in the coin), a lion and a panther. [ATTACH=full]1303828[/ATTACH] The coin in my avatar is a proof that pigs can fly. [ATTACH=full]1303829[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
