I do not know much about these coins, but they are strikely beautifull. Great additions. Collecting these fascinating pieces of history certainly...
But....they are dead already. Acetone turns an ulgy greased up butterfly back to its perfect coloration. Its a great de-greaser!
Great Postumus coins, I too like all the Gallic Empire coinage. Many coins were minted in Colonia (Koln) Germany. Even in my neck of the woods...

Actually, we live in the Ottawa Valley! This Spring, we have had colder temperatures/ snow. Where I lived in Germany as a child (Julich) close to...
Actually, it is a birdwing butterfly. No, you do not use acetone to kill it, its used to de-grease a dead specimen. You see sometimes the oils...
I was thinking more about their denarius/ but...I would love the aureus/esp. Domitian examples.
I am used to using "acetone" for my other hobby. It worked really well to remove oils/grease/stains from male butterfly wings/bodies! Not a good...
