[QUOTE="Limes, post: 5817582, member: 101013"]The reverse of that issue is a beautiful design. Although on some issues of this type, the head of medusa on the obverse looks like someone belonging to the "volk van laaf" (google that). :) I have to admit I'm not very familiar with [I]all [/I]the designs of the republican era. Some issues that impress me are shown here in this thread, many designs are attractive. I enjoy the two coins of mine of the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, one of which is shown below.
