chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4973 Posts	Posted 01/04/2013 11:20 pm here's a couple other budget spanish coins I picked up...another one is posted in the current smackdown. there are supposedly the same coin, but I like how the two complement each other. actually, wish I could combine the best features of both of them into one coin! Corduba, Spain, Mid 1st Century B.C. Bronze quarter unit head of Venus right winged Eros standing slightly left, torch in right, cornucopia in left i took the first picture on my computer table to prove I have some non-crap furniture. but then decided they look better on my good old coin cleaning table. or maybe the old crappy table make my coins look better?

I think this is a sentiment of many of us. Corduba was called Colonia Patricia when these coins were struck. I was in Corduba last year (2011). I highly recommend a visit if you have the chance.
