Sap Moderator Australia 16872 Posts	Posted 01/12/2012 03:17 am The designs of the two sides were taken from the reverses of two different coins, so yes, it's a "fantasy", a "mule" that could never have existed as a real coin. The "obverse" is copied off the reverse of a Romano-Egyptian tetradrachm, the "reverse" off of a Roman denarius of either Septimus Severus or Severus Alexander. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
