<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2079195, member: 39&quot;]That Vergilius coin is cool indeed. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> From what I have read, the ox refers to work, the tree is a symbol of fertility, and the horse represents poetry. But I wonder whether they have anything to do with the Aeneid, particularly the part where Ulysses claims to be insane. Who knows ...</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, those pieces are collector coins. Of course they did not stop issuing them at the end of the lira period, but I suppose that the changeover was an opportunity for some to stop collecting while for others it was a starting point. In my opinion, the recent Italian collector coins are too expensive, but many designs sure are attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]386484[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
