FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 12:43 pm Another impulse purchase They can be so much fun sometimes But this one really has me stumped It appears to be a Roman Republican Quadrans But ...... No 3 dots that I can see No ROMA that I can see And as far as I can see ...... the ships prow is facing left instead of right ! Nifty anchor above though That was what first attracted my interest But I shall now go sacrifice a ham sandwich and pray for enlightenment I welcome all input ! Æ-16 Roman Republic Obv. Bust of Hercules wearing lion skin headdress right Rv. Prow of ship facing left anchor above 3.19 grams 15-6mm "You are going the wrong way !" Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 1:17 pm Very interesting coin, I looked through Crawford but was unable able to find a similar coin with that monogram. As you are probably aware there were many different types of monograms that appeared on these coins. I might have miss it or it could be an unrecorded type. Report this Post to the Staff
