Roman Republic Silver Denarius of Marcus Antonius (minted in either 32 or 31 BCE by the military mint moving with Antonius):

 

Nothing super special, just a nice crisp Gallienus antoninianus from Antioch, which also happens to be a somewhat less-common type depicting the god Saturn.

Struck AD 267. Antioch mint

Ex Fritz Rudolf Künker, 11/21/2013 (Auction 243, lot 5115.) From the Dr. G. Himmel Collection.
Toned silvered surfaces. A fine eastern style portrait combined with a well struck and detailed reverse. This type is one of few Roman Imperial coins to depict Saturn, the Roman god of time, agriculture, and the harvest.​

 

Went to Harlan J Berk’s downtown Chicago store on a recent weekday and traded some modern silver dollar comms for two coins.

One was seated dime and the other is this Seleucid tetradrachma 96-76 BCE. This is also my first ancient in 35 years of collecting.
