Here are a few Augustus provincials... ...that I’ve posted before as part of my Antioch collection. I thought it appropriate to post them now because Augustus was the Emperor of Rome during the first Christmas. The post about French Military Medals of WWI and WWII has been moved to the World Coins Forum at: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/french-coins-and-military-medals-from-wwi-and-wwii.352214/
A Joyful Christmas to you, @paddyman98 ! Your idea about a separate thread for the medals is a good one. I may need to post it on the World Coins Forum.
