    The Domitian is my first “plate coin” from a printed reference book, David Hendin’s Guide to Biblical Coins Fifth Edition. I also have one of the coins used on the Menorah Coin Project website.

    Thank you, Sir! :hilarious: I knew that having my poster printed wasn’t going to curb my need to add to my collection. I’ve added 8 since having it printed, raising the number to 80. It’s okay—10 rows of 8 is a great format to use when laying out my next poster ;) Or should it be 8 rows of 10? o_O

    Your coin is a great example of the type!

    Lol, I stopped trying to limit myself. I am always out of control! Have around 1000 ancients (possibly much more), several thousand World Coins (no, I am not going to photo or attribute them), bunches of US (bored), almost as many Golds as Ancients, have scads of Casino Tokens, and too many to count tokens galore. Now, I just stick to Ancients, and virtually ignore the rest.

    Ancient Coins have history that allures me, as my real passion is Ancient History.

    Deacon Ray, Nice score on both coins, especially the Domitian plate coin :D! Excellent photos too ;)! What a great provenance having a coin from Hendin's iconic book.

    I'm still pretty new to Judaean coinage. Is this a lepta or a prutah?

    I understand 2 Leptas to a Prutah. This one is smaller than my Prutahs. But this is a side collection for me. I am ignorant regarding these coins.
