    Nekkid Saint George, as others have posted.

    That's gotta be a bit of a liability when you're fighting dragons, I would think.

    I'm all out of nekkid people. Let's switch the theme to mythological
    deities,     next.

    1974 Barbados, 10 dollars. I think this is Neptune, or rather, Poseidon. 1974 BB 10 d obv.JPG 1974 BB 10 d rev.JPG

    I think he was just a king, yet even today, some kings are worshiped as near deities. 1275 Ceylon obv.JPG 1275 Ceylon rev.JPG

    Yeah, that has been my focus for past 30 years. I have around 850, these span all 27 centuries since first coins where struck in Ionia/ Lydia. Hopeing to break the big "1000" milestone in next three years.:happy: I just consigned my banknote collection to Heritage, that will free up some $$$ to put into coins.

    Let's adjust the theme slightly to mythological figures in general- not just deities.

    Here's Pan on a coin I bought yesterday.

    Thrace. PANTIKAPAION.. Ae 21.. 310-303 B.C. As struck, no circulation wear.
