pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 4:32 pm I have stuck a bid on. Can't find "giraffe" in any of the databases, but they did have them in the arena. Poor things. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 6:09 pm Id say its just a stag. Heres a great read about romans and giraffes. The romans liked giraffes - I think a representation of one would be more true to life. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 7:34 pm There is no list for any in the Gallienus Zoo series, but this coin does bare a striking resemblance to one. It just might be an unrecorded coin. In any event it would still be a neat one to have. Here is a link to some of the zoo series. http://www.lunalucifera.com/zoo/diana.html Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 7:53 pm Cleaned, but very definitely the same as the ones on offer. I will have to list some purely out of interest now! You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff
