Diocletian Antoninianus => "Jupiter"

 

Elagabalus AR Denarius => "Fortuna"

 

i think this coin is depicting a multi-headed shiva (looks like he has crazy early 60's lady hair thing going on).

 

this statue was made to commemorate byzatnine emperor ronald the 1st.

Trajan, Phoenicia, Tyre Tetradrachm => "Tyche and River God, Orontes"

 

Great example! Very few of us have shown actual statues that appeared on coins but there were several coin poses copied from famous statues like this Antioch. Mine is the same statue but a different angle.
