Nice early Republican semis

[Diederik]

I could not resist this one:
Head of Saturn in Greek? style right /
Ship's prow right, ROMA below. four pellets on deck? 'S' over staff, above.
Its weight is 13 grams and it is 27 mms wide.

Is this Crawford 106?

Yes and it's a nice clear example. Crawford 106 always comes in this style which is reminiscent of Etruscan art. Waving locks of hair and big bulging eyes. The deck top arrangement is also unique to this series.

Thank you, Andrew!  It seems I am learning...
