<p>[QUOTE="bcuda, post: 4521213, member: 105389"]I have a soft spot for Iberian coinage and sometimes I go a little overboard with my collecting of them. One of the types of Iberian coins that calls out to me are the Castulo coins with the wild pig on the back. I had three different variants of this coin that I called my three little pigs. Well I just added another to the group so I don't know what would be a good name for them anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here they are</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1120055[/ATTACH]</p><p>Castulo.
