Hi, as a murex fanatic I also collect other stuff related to this magnificent shellfamilie. When I check out the different auctionsites by using the keyword "murex" I often come across old coins (most Roman) which mention in the description the word "murex" for something that should figures on these coins. I think my eye-sight must be bad but with the best of will I cannot detect anything on these pictured coins that looks like a "murex". Can anyone of you share some light on my ignorance or refer to a site where I could find this kind of information.
