airhead1983 Posted March 16, 2023 · Member Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hi Coin Friends, Its been a while, how’s is everyone? I got hit with depression for a while and it sucked, like it always does. But, I have really exciting news after I share our first coins of the year. 😃 First, I’ve added a new ‘reptile’ coin and it happens to be my first Roman Republic. 🙂 When I participated in the Secret Saturnalia, my brother helped me purchase the coin I wanted to get for my giftee. I never actually heard from the person, so I don’t know if they got it or if they liked it. 😞 Anyway, as reimbursement, I gave my brother the gift voucher I won from @YOTHR a few months back. With it, he purchased this great Domitian denarius. Pic courtesy of @YOTHR because mine suck. 🤪 Domitian as Caesar, RIC 921, Date 76-77 AD, Silver Denarius Rome, Pegasus, COS IIII For the exciting update- I have new landlords that are allowing me to bring my geckos into my apartment. 🦎🦎 I am sooo excited!! This means no coins for a while because I’m taking the opportunity to do major upgrades to their terrariums. But, it’s well worth it! Feel free to post anything that is completely random and irrelevant. 🤪 Have fun and stay safe. 😎 Erin 32 1 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Kowsky Posted March 16, 2023 · Member Share Posted March 16, 2023 Erin, Congrats on scoring your fascinating RR denarius 🤩. Could the creature on the obverse be a Nile River crocodile 🤔? I've never seen Apollo paired with a crocodile before, maybe there is a mythological association.... I'm sure your geckos will be happy with their new environment too ☺️. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a green Leguan. But after he died - I never buy a new - because all of my girlfriends don’t like visit me with a Reptil in the room 😄 Geckos are fantastic and interesting. It’s OT - but if you want you can post one or two pictures of your geckos… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airhead1983 Posted March 18, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Thanks everyone! I was really excited to get the republic denarius. I couldn’t find many other examples. I’ll never miss an opportunity to show off my cold blooded children. 😃 First is Achoo, my golden gecko. He’s about 23 yrs old and I’ve had him for a little over 20 years. He’s still very much like a young gecko - very active. Next is Dottie, my leopard gecko. I think she’s around 7 years old now. She’s very shy, but, loves her super worms. I’m hoping to be able to adopt a crested gecko in the late summer/early fall. If I had more room, I’d get a Kenyan sand boa too. But, that will have to wait until I get a bigger apartment. Reptiles rule. 😎🦎 Erin Edited March 18, 2023 by airhead1983 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
