Ian Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Having difficulty referencing this one as my knowledge of Roman coins is limited to a rather old set of books I have. This particular well worn example has Victory advancing to the left (reverse) and the only thing I managed to find close to it was on the Wildwinds site (RIC 103), but it had Victory advancing to the right. Any help with attribution much appreciated. (edit) Looks to have bust of RIC 103 with reverse similar to RIC 106. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I don't have anything to say other than that I've never seen an Imperial Roman quinarius before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 .....when at first you shake the bottle....none will come , and then a lot'll. Seems to be the case with me and quinarii ! Just bought another two different examples of a Hadrian quinarius, but only one of these has arrived so far (below). will post the third on its arrival. This one has Hadrian wearing a cuirasse (obv) and Victory seated and facing left (rev) (ref: RIC 108c) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
