[QUOTE="Michael Stolt, post: 3302340, member: 100445"]Even though I haven't collected for long I have found a fondness for Quinarii. These small Republican coins when found in higher grades are just a joy and a marvels to see and hold in hand. Today I'm sharing one of the finest known specimens of a Quinarius minted to help finance the efforts during the Social War. Most of you will probably be more familiar with this moneyer's denarius issue, but I find this one just a tad bit more artistic and beautiful, even though I love the high relief busts on the denarii. I also went so far as to purchasing the 1986 Sternberg catalogue the coin was included in, no regrets there as the RR section of the sale was mind blowing.

Obverse: Laureate head of Apollo right, club behind. Reverse: Victory advancing right, holding wreath and palm-branch, L PI - SO across fields, FRVGI in exergue.
