Roman Republic Silver Denarius of Marcus Antonius (minted in either 32 or 31 BCE by the military mint moving with Antonius):

 

Nothing super special, just a nice crisp Gallienus antoninianus from Antioch, which also happens to be a somewhat less-common type depicting the god Saturn.

GALLIENUS. Sole reign, AD 260-268​

BI Antoninianus (22.0mm, 3.08g, 6h)
Struck AD 267. Antioch mint
Obverse: GALLIENVS AVG, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus right
Reverse: AETERNITAS AVG, Saturn, veiled and draped, standing right, holding harpa; PXV in exergue
References: RIC V.1 606c corr.; RCV 10170; ERIC II 1187 corr.
Ex Fritz Rudolf Künker, 11/21/2013 (Auction 243, lot 5115.) From the Dr. G. Himmel Collection.
Toned silvered surfaces. A fine eastern style portrait combined with a well struck and detailed reverse. This type is one of few Roman Imperial coins to depict Saturn, the Roman god of time, agriculture, and the harvest.​

 

Went to Harlan J Berk’s downtown Chicago store on a recent weekday and traded some modern silver dollar comms for two coins.

One was seated dime and the other is this Seleucid tetradrachma 96-76 BCE. This is also my first ancient in 35 years of collecting.
