<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IMP Shogun, post: 5141167, member: 114683&quot;]Throughout history there have been a series of prominent &quot;Scarfaces&quot; (&quot;Say &#039;ello to my little friend&quot;). Some historical, and some fictional.&nbsp; As the two Al&#039;s below were aptly nicknamed.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/data/xengallery/1165/1165557-4e31c27c5d3700268019553fcfc5b923.jpg?1605941392" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>While they could arguably be considered mafia or cartel bosses in their own right, the following set of bosses bears a prominent cheek scar (right or left, who&#039;s counting?):</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/domitian-denarius-ric-507.15688/full?d=1605941874" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Domitian struck 87 A.D. den RIC 507 Roma</p><p>IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VI / IMP XIIII COS XIII CENS P P P</p><p>Minerva; owl at foot</p><p>19mm 3.18g</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/trajan-denarius-ric-viii-81.15686/full?d=1605940663" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Trajan, denarius struck 101-102 Roma</p><p>IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM&nbsp; / P M TR P COS IIII P P</p><p>Hercules, holding lion&#039;s skin and club</p><p>RIC 49, left shoulder drapery variety</p><p>19mm 2.9g</p><p>(Early buffalo head nickel model....?)</p><p><br /></p><p>While I have you there is an interesting story about the statue depicted on this reverse.
