Cool! My earliest round Chinese coin is a Hartill 6.3 that I bought many years ago from Frank Robinson: [ATTACH]
Nice OP coin @Sallent, it fits in with my belief that well-worn coins can still be attractive. I've shared it before, but here's a denarius...
Modern copy, looks cast.
Here's my latest acquisition from Ancient Imports: [ATTACH] Roman Empire, Rome mint. AE dupondius (26mm, 9.47g). Antonia, struck under Claudius...
Well, I've got a few coins of Trajan: [ATTACH] And here's a denarius of Hadrian from the first year of his reign: [ATTACH]
Looks like you've found the most widely available coin of Genghis (or Chinghiz, to use the currently preferred transliteration), a billon jital of...
Personally, I would keep the first one. But ultimately you have to decide for yourself which coin will make you happier with your collection.
I bought this coin some months ago for $6 unattributed. It is an AE18, and I quickly realized it was a typical Ptolemaic bronze with Zeus on...
And to keep it numismatic, here's proud father Vespasian with his sons Titus and Domitian: [ATTACH]

Thought I'd share another recent purchase: [ATTACH] Roman Empire. AR denarius (19mm, 2.89g). Trajan (98-117 AD). Obverse: Laureate bust right,...
