zumbly Posted June 11, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2022 Neato. For some reason, I've always liked this type with Abundantia pouring out goodies from her cornucopia.

Benefactor LONGINUS Posted June 11, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Thank you, thenickelguy — until I read your post, I never considered that there were coins featuring cornucopias being emptied. I was even more delighted to discover that I own such a coin. Edited June 11, 2022 by LONGINUS 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted June 11, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 11, 2022 My only coin with this motif - cornucopia being emptied - is a denarius from Antoninus Pius. I am sure all the collectors enjoy this reverse (and not because of condition) Antoninus Pius AD 138-161. Rome Denarius AR 19 mm., 2,64 g RIC III Antoninus Pius 234 Date Range: AD 153 - AD 154 ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P XVII, Antoninus Pius, laureate, right / LIBERALITAS VII COS IIII, Liberalitas, draped, standing left, emptying coins out of cornucopiae, held in both hands 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
