<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Meat man, post: 24704574, member: 135271&quot;]Even though the Tribute Penny is so popular and so often overpriced in the market, I still think that it&#039;s probably the best &quot;story&quot; coin minted under Tiberius. For that reason I voted &quot;Tribute Penny&quot;.</p><p>But there certainly other interesting types. The drachms with dual portraits as suggested by [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] is a great one. Also, the &quot;ASIAE RESTITVTIS&quot; sestertius type tells an interesting story, as David Sear writes:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;This publicizes the measures undertaken by Tiberius for the relief of those cities of the province Asia which had been affected by a devastating earthquake in AD 17 centred near the city of Sardis. The type was restored by Titus.&quot;</i> -David Sear, Roman Coins and Their Values Vol I., p. 346</p><p><br /></p><p>This also puts poor Tiberius in a slightly better light than is usually granted to him.</p><p><br /></p><p>NOT MY COIN</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1578168[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10675767" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10675767" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10675767</a></p><p><br /></p><p>These different types might not be any more affordable than a Tribute Penny though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
