2 Coins Of Cato The Younger

I bid for and won one coin in the Naville auction.

It is a quinarius of Cato the Younger from the E.E. Clain Stefanelli Collection. I wanted this coin because I already have the Clain-Steffanelli Denarius of Cato the younger. I have always wanted the quinarius but never thought for a moment that I could get one which was from the same collection as the denarius.

I am very happy to have them both.

Please post your coins of Cato.

On another note I have been in Dublin for a few days. Unfortunately I did not find any coin shops. I am hoping to have better luck in Munich over the next few days.
