    I collect a lot of Gold coins, including US, World, and Ancients. For fun, I thought I would share this one.

    This is the first actual Gold coin produced for the purposes of commerce. Generally they were used to raise armies and/or major payments between cities, satraps, or kingdoms. Prior "gold" coins were actually electrum, which is a natural blend of Gold and Silver.

    I like to collect British Sovereigns. This one was issued to celebrate the Queen's Jubelee.

    Onetime centerpiece of the old Holey Gold Hat: a gold solidus of the Byzantine emperor Zeno, struck after 476 AD. The only coin I've owned with the famous Eliasberg pedigree.

    During WWII Air Force pilots especially French) carries the French 20 Franc Angels with them for luck. When I was preparing to leave for a tour in Viet Nam, my wife gave me one to carry. I still have it in my wallet today.

    This is the one I kept, had to return the other (1928) due to unlisted cleaning. (I'm using their photo though.)
