ComicMan Posted April 10, 2023 · Member Share Posted April 10, 2023 10 minutes ago, Ryro said: Next: a favorite from your collection Eraviscan denarius imitating the types of L. Papius. 79 BC - 1 BC Obv: Head of Juno Sospita right, wearing goat skin headdress, T behind. Rev: Griffin leaping right, berry (?) below. Probably a die match with this one in the article (Fig. 7): https://numismatics.org/pocketchange/eraviscan/, the obverse is obviously a quite corroded but it is actually not as bad as on this picture, the lighting really brings out every flaw while in hand it is quite nice. Why a favorite? I like Roman coins and this was an imitative minted and used in Hungary so it has a connection to me. Next: A flawed coin that you like (corroded, worn dies, etc.), if you wanna be spicy something expensive that is flawed. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
