erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 10/12/2021 11:03 am to the Coin Community! Thanks for sharing your lovely antoninianii! Animals on coins always make interesting designs, and for Roman coins they are a welcome break from the parade of various deities that usually adorn the reverse (not that they aren't nice too). Can't really pick an absolute favorite, but here is one I do like, and it has an eagle. Antoninianus, 284 AD, Carus (posthumous issue by his son Carinus). Minted in Lugdunum/Lyon, 1st officina. 3.87 g, 21 mm. RIC V Carus 29. Obv: DIVO CARO PIO (To the pious divine Carus) Rev: CONSECRATIO (Deification) Report this Post to the Staff
