Here’s an early struck post-reform bronze sextans of the Roman Republic with an eagle:

I will throw in a Tet from Ptolemy I, Pharaoh of AEgypt

 

'Al', Wonderful group of eagles!!!!! LOVE those coins!!!!

 

Thank you Mikey Zee! The M Plaetorius seems to be where the US Quarter was inspired, and the Ptolemy looks like it inspired the US Peace Dollar. I like the ancients as the seem more 'real' in design.

 

Very cool addition!
