<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gil-galad, post: 2942154, member: 44154&quot;]I have collected a few coins within the last 2 years, there are a few more that I really like but the limit is 10 and that will have to do and honestly, I think it&#039;s enough too. Maybe I can post more coins in follow up posts if you like. I am just too tired to do a proper write-up tonight but I will later, the next time I do it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]716609[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Imperial, Philip II as Caesar (247-249 AD), AR Antoninianus</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: M IVL PHILPPVS CAES, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: PRINCIPI IVVENT, The prince standing left, holding globe and spear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reference: RIC 218d, RSC 48.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ex: Coin Talk - Secret Saturnalia - <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/its-that-time-of-year-again-my-friends-secret-saturnalia.305362/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/its-that-time-of-year-again-my-friends-secret-saturnalia.305362/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/its-that-time-of-year-again-my-friends-secret-saturnalia.305362/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]716608[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Alexander Jannaeus, Hasmonean AE Prutah, 103-76 BC</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: &quot;Yehonatan the High Priest &amp; the Council of the Jews&quot;, Four lines of Hebrew text within wreath.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: Two joined cornucopias, ribbons on each side, pomegranate between, all within dotted circle border.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reference: Hendin 473</p><p><br /></p><p>Ex: Tom Mullally</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]716611[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Provincial Edessa, Mesopotamia, Gordian III (238-244 AD) with Abgar X Phraates, AE24 apx</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: AVTOK K M ANT ΓOPΔIANOC CЄ, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right; star to right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: Rev: ABΓAPOC BACIΛЄVC, Draped bust of Abgar right, wearing tiara; star to left.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reference: BMC Arabia 144, SNG Copenhagen 225</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]716613[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Annam (Vietnam) Cash, Tây Sơn Dynasty Rebellion, Quang Trung (1788-1792 AD), AE24 Cash, 1.95g, 24mm</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: 光中通寶, Quang Trung Thông Bảo.
