<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2349567, member: 74282&quot;][ATTACH=full]478261[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republic Æ Triens(20.5mm, 5.75g), anonymous, after 211 BC. Mint in Southern Italy, Sicily or Sardinia. Helmeted head of Minerva right; above, four pellets / Prow right with flat-topped deck structure; above, ROMA; below, four pellets. Cf. Crawford 56/4. McCabe group H1(halfweight overstrikes).</p><p>Ex. Vecchi sale 3, 1996, lot 124</p><p><br /></p><p>Paid a decent bit more than the dealer paid for it at auction a few months before but it&#039;s one of my favorite Republican bronzes in my collection and is of a really interesting series of Second Punic War overstrikes of Roman designs on captured enemy coins and is really nice for the type. I might have been able to wait and find another sharp example for less in a few years but I fell in love with this coin and couldn&#039;t let it go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
