I don't have a coin from my birth year, but that year was the 2000th anniversary of this coin:



A Roman Republican silver denarius, struck 56 BC by Faustus Cornelius Sulla, the son of the famous Sulla. 19 mm. 3.90 grams. Test cut at 6:30/12:00.
Bust of Diana right (Sulla's patron deity) FAVSTVS in field.
Sulla receiving the surrender of Jugurtha by Bocchus (a famous event event in history which elevated Sulla to be a rival of Marius for being the most important man in Rome), which happened 50 years before this coin was struck. Republican coins of moneyers often celebrated deeds of their ancestors. This design was engraved on the personal seal of Sulla.

Not my year, but 2000 years earlier.

 

How about five coins from the year of my mother's labor day ;



FYI, too lazy to look for my set to photograph. This pic is 'borrowed' from the net. Hope that doesn't land me in Le Chateau Woof Woof

 

Thought for a minute, I was the baby of this bunch! Lol

Okay, I want everyone to know that, despite all of the fun we've had making Doug aka @GDJMSP out to be The Old Man and the "CT", he is actually younger than me.
