Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 7:56 pm I just picked this one up today for a good price. I am pretty pleased with it, but I am not sure as to the mint. In this case would "Z" indicate Rome? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 8:10 pm Very nice - the vast majority of these zoo coins were made at Rome with just a few rarities elsewhere. 'Z' refers to the Officina rather than an indication of the mint itself. Its kind of assumed / accepted to be Rome if that makes sense (sorry, its late and I've had a few beers ) More info here: http://www.lunalucifera.com/Zoo/index.html I think I like the Centaur coins most in this series Edited by bobbyhelmet 08/01/2012 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
