paul27613 Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 08/26/2014 10:59 pm Saturn S behind head Prow, S above 23mm, 6.12 grams semis I believe I cannot quite make out the legend / letters below the prow. I think I expect ROMA but I can't quite make that out. 200 BC? attractive. Report this Post to the Staff

chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 08/26/2014 11:34 pm Very nice coin. It should be ROMA underneath and I'm pretty sure I can make out each letter. The A is almost but not quite off flan. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/27/2014 04:07 am I had this coin for ages before somebody pointed out that there was an elephant's head at the top of the coin. I am wondering whether or not you have something similar. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/27/2014 04:51 am There is an S above the prow too, the denomination mark (Semis). Below does say ROMA. Heres mine, the nicest thing I own: As for yours pish, it seems to be an early named coin, perhps one of the first. The prow is inscribed C METELL. Report this Post to the Staff
