If possible, I would've done cartwheels when this coin arrived over the weekend. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-136566

Mules are fascinating coins to study, especially if it's the only recorded specimen!

I had to restrain myself from a little numismatic joking
by stating that it can't be unique because there's two
of them, and that they are not mules but oxen. Lucky
I didn't post that and only said it in my head. Oh wait!
