I haven't posted any coins in a while, and although my buying is somewhat down compared to the last couple of years, I have by now accumulated a...
I have just a few sestertii, starting with this Vespasian (69-79) featuring Roma on reverse: [ATTACH] And two from Trajan's Parthian campaign:...
I'm kind of surprised that no-one has yet posted any Chinese coins to this thread, so I guess I'll go ahead. Here's several different coins...
A superb OP coin @I_v_a_n , may I ask where you bought it? I have no Sasanian gold (or lead), but I do have most of the kings in silver and some...
My main collecting area is broadly "Pre-Islamic and early Islamic Persia", which covers quite a lot of ground. You've got your Achaemenids, like...

I have this denarius from the first year of Hadrian's reign: [ATTACH] What I find most interesting about this piece is the references in the...

If I had to guess, I'd say it was an Ottoman silver akce. I once found one in a lot of uncleaned ancients (the Balkans, where many uncleaned lots...
Very nice coin! I think the test cut looks like Philetairos was in a knife fight, and came very near to getting his throat slit...
@seth77 is correct, the coin is from the Kingdom of Axum, which was located in what is now Ethiopia and Eritrea. The inscription on both sides is...
On the coin boxed in red: [ATTACH] I can make out "la razon". Chile used the slogan "Por la razon o la fuerza" on their coins in the late 19th...
