As I was examining my coin collection with one of those long arm adjustable 4x back-lighted magnifying glasses I came across this coin. Since most don't always see with the great detail that I have been gifted with, I outlined and wrote down with lines the particulars.  I have to say, I have never ever seen a coin that had a Boar with its tusks carry a hand grenade on its hip and ready to throw another one while in the back ground a Walrus is watching and a Crab is overhead! This has to be one of the rarest finds of the century! Sap or someone, could you help date and tell me a little more about this coin?    |

That's not a crab - it's a crawdaddy! There goes the value ...

I see that few really see these items. Well the addition of the attached picture without the labels will most assuredly cause you to gasp for breath!
It almost looks like a lady with a detached lower half of her body, but I.m gonna stick with my first visions!....Rats...I cant add another picture. Well guys and girls, use your imagination!

The coin is ancient Roman, would need to see a picture of the obverse to tell who it is. The reverse appears to be double struck.

 AtEase Not into ancients, but looks like a long haired woman looking east, holding reins to a chariot. |

The emperor Claudius II 268-270 AD. One of the better emperors. The reverse is too worn to tell what it is.

Sometimes, die cutters have a sense of humour, too. You have to realise that the die was deliberately cut that way.
Pity NCLT can't be like that!

I think its a copy of the super rare Claudius II Boar with its tusks carrys a hand grenade on its hip and ready to throw another one while in the back ground a Walrus is watching and a Crab is overhead coin. These copies are coming out of China every day now  Edited by bobbyhelmet

It's a bum rap however cause my imagination is really strange since I've been taking Tramadil.
Thats a muscle relaxer, not a really nasty drug, unless mixed with alcohol.
Here it is. But you have to admit when wear and tear take their toll on a coin and the lighting is just right (or really wrong) things appear that aren't really there.
