Hey guys, does anyone know what this interesting roman republic coin is? theres a lot of details on this coin. Head of sol & crescent moon on top, etc etc. Test marks on the obverse i guess. A figure near the horses legs.

Thanks Pekka k. indeed very interesting

Typhon, shown on the reverse of this rare denarius type, was among the most fearsome monsters of Greco-Roman mythology. He was the spawn of the Earth mother Gaia and Tartarus, spirit of the Underworld. Depicted as a giant with a lower body of snake-like vapor coils, he was imprisoned by Zeus beneath Mount Aetna in Sicily, where his hissing and roaring gave rise to volcanic eruptions.
