<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 6575535, member: 14873&quot;]Thank you for yet another superb informational write-up, Donna - and for posting those pics of the great “elephant coins” you recently added to your collection. I am afraid I only have one “elephant coin” in my own collection now and I have posted pics of it so many times that CT’ers must be tired of seeing it. However, in compliance with your request:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1264300[/ATTACH]</p><p><i>Sestertius, RIC, Vol. I, Tiberius, No. 68, AD 36-37 (35mm, 22.6gm)</i></p><p>Cataloged in Wildwinds under Augustus - Sear 1784</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin obverse depiction: Augustus, radiate, togate, holding laurel branch in r. hand and long sceptre in l. hand, seated on throne, placed on a car, drawn l. by four elephants, each bearing a mahout on its neck.
