I enjoy Quinarii as it is scarcer denomination compared to the Denarius. I recently won this Quinarius from Vespasian. I take terrible pics, and the Seller has an unique photo style. But this is a cool little coin... Seller: Ugh, Me... I WILL reshoot.

Please post any of your cool Quinarii! Or even the cool Rugby player Vespasian!
Very nice. I been looking at some imperial quinarii and may have to get one soon. I only have 2 quinarii and they are both imperatorial.
In the past I've some time considered starting a series of quinarii and even bought Kathy King's book. But finding nice examples is very hard and pricey, I gave up just before starting Yours has a very good portrait, congrats As for taking pics the only option is you send me your coins and I'll manage photographying them. Have in mind they might be lost in the mail on their way back, though Q
@Orfew Nice Quinarii! I have those too... RImp Octavian AR Quinarius 29-28 BCAsia Recepta Victory Cista Snakes S 1568 O-R.jpg RImp Lepidus Mark Antony 43 BC AR quinarius 13.9mm 1-82g Military mint trav Transalpine Gaul pontificate Cr 489-3 Syd 1158a RSC 3 RARE O-R.JPG
Hope it will not be too much of a pain but I inherited a second example (brand new) that I gifted a coin friend with just two months ago... Q
That's a wonderful example @Alegandron!!! Presently, my two examples are RR types that I have posted many times before..... I need an Imperial

Thank you. I will reshoot it sometime soon, so that the features come out a little better. However, I agree...the style really attracted it to me. It is a nice little coin. I was hoping you had some cool denarii from Vespasian that I have never seen.
i'd love to get a quinarius..maybe 2017..we'll see. @Alegandron neat coins! how big is your constantius i posthumus coin?? i didn't know that came in "fun sized"! cool!
