Barbarous mule of the day
« on: April 01, 2006, 08:01:09 am »
Hi all,

Things have been pretty quiet for me recently so I thought I'd trawl through my trays and post this chap. Ex-Nether Compton hoard which I bought about 12 years ago. A nice mule with left-facing imperial obverse and an unusual copied mintmark. Anyway, enjoy  ;)

Regards,

Adrianus

I don't often use this word (it is reserved for special occasions! ;D), but this coin is truly funkengrüven!

Can you provide a translation? I love the cyclops eye.

What a lovely Barb!
The reverse is quite nice, I especially like the style of the stars.
