[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8205994, member: 80952"]Stunning coins [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] and everybody. These are my short term targets - a cistophoric (any would do) and an Augustus silver. Can't explain why, but I simply don't like the Caius and Lucius denarii, even if this types should be attractive for me, since the reverse type is "unique" (one of my criteria when choosing a coin). Probably because I lost too many examples (some of them quite badly preserved but prices were too rich for my tastes) so I simply want another type, being fully aware they are not cheap. I find both examples excellent. I have a couple of Augustus imperial bronzes but my favorite remains this Kyzikos, I find it quite "imperatorial" in design. [ATTACH=full]1438510[/ATTACH] 17 mm 3.24 g Bare head of Augustus, r. / ϹƐΒΑϹΤΟϹ, capricorn, l., with head turned back; [monogram including ΖΚ] RPC I, 2245, F.W. Hasluck, NC 1906, 27, no. 3, AMC 1183[/QUOTE]
