29a. Celtic AR drachm – Boier TÓTFALU typeBecause of the obverse is worn enough, just some wave fragments (?) seen at the edge, it was hard enough to indentify. Of the typical Tótfalu coins only the gaul type has wavy hair figure, so I think my coin is verisimilar than the reference coin.berserkerJan 10, 2010

9.87gms, 24mm
The obverse is one of the most beautiful and the most characteristic product of the (east) celtic coinage. The tipical gallic (or Apollo ?) head without beard and the thick pleated hair belongs to celtic coins of Noricum, and this motive probably got to the Munkács area with transmit of Boii. Maybe that's why Pink is classified in category of Western influence coins (unter Westlichem Einfluss).
Reverse rider holds a zickzack line (lightning?) in right hand, while with his left hand is based on the horse (see: LaTour 9866)

MARCVS IVLIVS SEVERUS PHILIPPVS was given the title Caesar at the age of seven on his father's accession. He was elevated to co-Augustus in AD 247. After his father was killed in the battle at Verona in August, 249, Philip II was executed by his Praetorian Guard. He was 12 years old.berserkerNov 29, 2009

ref: RIC I 28, RSC 16b (2frcs)
mint: Lugdunum
3,57gms, 18mm
The story of the Tribute Penny may be the best-known Biblical reference to a coin. Tiberius reigned during the ministry of Jesus and it is logical that his silver denarius was the coin used by Christ ("Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and give unto the Lord that which is the Lord's"). Although the inscription refers to Tiberius' position as Pontifex Maximus and there are no overt references to Livia, many scholars feel that users of the coins would have associated the figure with Livia and that this association was probably intended by Tiberius. An obligatory issue for collectors.berserkerNov 29, 2009
