Hello Guys! It's nice to meet You. Thanks Luca Romano!
I've added to my gallery some coins of Trajan and Hadrian (with my "pearl" - tridrachm of Hadrian from Comana with a temple and statue of goddess Mâ, without this exemplar are known just two spicemens in Berlin Museum).

Hallo Alan M3,
Your coin should be a:
VENICE - SOLDO - Nicolo Contarini - 1630-1631.
Compare underneath:
Your coin has an extra "T" in the legend on the reverse. Different die.

Thank you so much!!

Hi there Meepzorp, thanks for sharing your coins. That Caius and Lucius of yours took my fancy the most. Not a lot of specimens of Agrippa Postumus to compare with. I notice the Augustus RPC 1139 you own looks very similar to issues of Agrippa Postumus, Germanicus and Drusus from Corinth. I can make out the last P and A of Agrippa on my coin. I really hope it is an authentic coin as it would mean I now have portraits of Augustus, Caius, Lucius, Agrippa Postumus, Tiberius, Germanicus, Drusus, Nero Caesar, Drusus Cesar, Germanicus Gemellus, Tiberius Gemellus, Caligula, Claudius, Britannicus and Nero.

A bit bigger than a dime roughly 19 - 20 mm. Thin billon composition. I can't really make out too much. I think it's from Venice. Will greatly appreciate any help.

Hi SO,

Thanks for posting your coins in your gallery. As Tracy wrote, they are impressive.

I have several Cappadocia coins:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/meepzorp/rp_cappadocia_pt02.htm

In the coming weeks, I will probably be adding another one (with a temple reverse) to those pages.

Hi Dru,

That is interesting. I doubt if it was done intentionally.

I have a few Corinth coins from that time period:

Another addition to my “growing more rapidly than I want” collection of medals/coins commemorating Horatio Nelson and/or the centenary of the Battle of Trafalgar.

This medal commemorates the centenary of Trafalgar, presented by the St. George’s Society and Sons of England of Ottawa, Canada. It has a suspension hole drilled in it just after the 12h (from the obverse). This is the fifth entry into my Nelson gallery and the third that has been altered for wearing. Clearly on the reverse at the 6h is a mark but even under 25x magnification it doesn’t resemble anything that I can recognize. Yet, I’m convinced that it was intentional and not just a defect or artifact.
