[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 4271404, member: 57495"]That is a lovely C Piso Frugi, Sveissen. The bust of Apollo is especially artistic. One of the reasons why the one below is my favorite is precisely because every square millimetre of available flan space has been exploited to fit the design. :shame: However, I do think the chosen types are so unique that I imagine it must have made an impression even when it first rolled out of the mints back on the middle of the 1st century BC.
