Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 11:50 am Another Emperor from my cleaning endeavours - this one is my most recent emperor. My records are indicating this to be imp. numero 28 (not including coins minted by provinces under the rules of emperors) and I've got 3 wives to boot! Still in cleaning, but now logged and heres some pictures: DN LEO P F AVG Lion crouching left, head turned back. --> about 9mm. Oddly rare for someone who ruled for such a long time. He is my second rarest ruler to date, but I hope for something good from another coin which is nearly done.... This ID isn't final, but I cant find any better matches and I believe the surviving legend (DN and the bottom half of an L) confirm this ID. EDIT - Theres a cross in the field by the lion too!

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 11:56 am I have this coin (I think it's the same), but it's very difficult to discern the lion on the reverse. In hand I can make it out, but the I can't in the image. Hopefully yours continues to turn out well. Report this Post to the Staff
