This is not my coin, but I saw it for sale on ebay and found it interesting. I think it sold for around $20. I'm not sure if space aliens visited earth in ancient times or if Elvis found a way to travel back in time, but this coin makes me think Spock's relative and Elvis' relative got together and, well, had a baby boy named Constantius:  |

Really nice bust detail. It looks like Spock trying to be Elvis.

Mcshilling, its a bronze of Constantius Gallus, who was Caesar (junior emperor) under Emperor Constantius II. This coin has the common soldier spearing fallen horseman reverse with the legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO (in English: "happy times restored"). The mintmark is ASIS which means the mint city was Siscia, now Sisak, Croatia.

Looks like Data from Star Trek TNG to me. Interesting coin.

My Brother!  I liked this enough I did an ebay search for another. There are a lot of coins with this man on them, but none quite as goofy looking as the one posted in this thread. However, quite a few of the profiles do show his Vulcan-ish ears. |

I see the resemblance too. That's quite an ear! Perhaps it was engraved by an apprentice.  |

These coins are a crack up...they all seem to be different, But Spock has pointed ears, looks more like a troll..Middle Earth..  |

Thanks for the answers guys, I thought it was the same as the one I had asked about before but then the hair and ears threw me off and I thought it was a fake. Got a lot too learn.
