I specially like Chile's Volcano coinage. This type, specifically the 1817 FJ was the first crown issued by Chile just after the wars of...
It would be interesting to know what the latin word or description was for this particular hairstyle. Whatever it was, it is an attractive and...
To be honest, Brandon, I was secretly very pleased that you were able to recognise Britannia, almost at a glance, on my worn down sestertius. (It...
