WARNING - Not for the faint of heart, or religiously inclined. I have a new purchase I swear is cursed; it's an Antoninianus of Lucifer. This is the actual auction posting, please note the 666 Lot number. That's right 666. The coin is suppose to be a Barbarous Imitation of Tetricus I, but I swear its a portrait of Lucifer on the obverse, and him as a Satyr, including horns and goat legs, behanding a victim on the reverse. Authority: Barbarous Tetricus I (Imitating Tetricus I) Denomination: BI Antoninianus Mint: Uncertain Mint (271 - 274 AD) Size: 16 mm Weight: 2.4 g Obverse: (IMP C TETRICVS PF AVG), Radiate and draped bust to right Reverse: ...IVI..., Sol advancing to left, raising hand and holding whip; star in left field References: Possible prototype, cf. RIC Vii 98
Well selling price was a very non-evil 14 EURO. Wicked good deal maybe. A truly evil coin would be a uber-rare near perfect example that would drive people to wreck their lives in pursuit. Evil rarely comes packaged as evil. I should have grabbed that one myself. Cool coin for 14 Euro.
