<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsman, post: 3378126, member: 99177&quot;]I own a few Caligula coins and picked this one for this thread.</p><p>It&#039;s one of my favourite coins cause of the history behind it. The coin was struck at Rome by Caligula&nbsp; to commemorate the recovery from the Germans by his father, Germanicus, of the standards of the lost legions of Varus. I&#039;m very happy with this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every time coins from Caligula come by, I regret that I didn&#039;t buy a silver coin a couple of years ago when I had the chance. I thought Caligula&#039;s face was too worn. Boy, have I regret that since. My &#039;Eleven Caesars&#039; collection in silver has been waiting for quite a while for the last one to arrive, but nothing so far <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Please, all those people who hold on to two, three or even four silver Caligula coins, let them free (for a reasonable price of course <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), so others can complete their series <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]896540[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Germanicus, dupondius (struck under Caligula in honor of his father).</p><p>RIC 57</p><p>13,66 g. 30 mm.</p><p>Obv.
