Here are a few plus my 1909 Italian Lira as my Avatar!

 

A modern Polish proof with a smallish mintage. Took me a while to find one of these this nice.

 

Here's a coin I picked up for one of my son's collections because he liked the Knight on his horse.

Denarius from the Roman Republic

 

1913 2-mark coin from Germany commemorating German defeat of Napoleon

 

After some research and further looking around on the web, I'm quite sure this is authentic. It's not a "coin" per se, but a token of the sorts. I thought it was pretty cool.

 

Irish Halfcrown and a silver WWI British war medal

 

Davey! the horse on the reverse of that British World War I medal is stunning...I have been searching for one for a few months, but I haven't found one I like yet. I Like yours! Gorgeous! :thumb:

 

Yes I couldn`t agree more, I have several in sets, mounted in display cases, in fact I collect more on the medal side than coins nowadays, each medal is indididual, as they were issued to the recipient with their name, rank, service number and regiment impressed on the outside edge. and I can research the persons military record and actions with the aid of Documents on Line.

Here`s just but a few of many I have.

 

I imaged these four today.

 

New Jersey only liked the heads of horses on their coins (Though, it may technically be a mule).

These are two of my newer quite old tokens. The first is a nice Conder token from Kent. The second is an "unofficial farthing" of Oxfordshire 1835.

I borrowed this image from another CT equestrian thread.

 

There are many horse coins among the ancients but one of the most 'different' is this four horse chariot facing and pulling the sun god Sol. Note the flames below their feet. There is also a small horse on the emperor's shield on the obverse. Roman Empire, Probus, 276-282 AD, Siscia mint

 

Keeping this thread alive...I imaged these four yesterday.
