[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2563155, member: 8959"]Thanks all for your comments. I have to admit I am really attracted to reverses 'which show something'. I am probably therefore not a sophisticated collector. My tastes are simple: I prefer heroic reverses, or reverses which refer to historic events, or those which shows buildings or monument, or an emperor actually doing 'something'. History also plays a big part for me, so I will make an exception with regard to the reverse If the coin portrays a person whom I find historically interesting. I have to confess that I tend not to go for reverses which just show a figure 'just standing there'. Give me some action! (There is an expression among german dealers/collectors about such coins - they call them the 'Stehende Langweiligkeit' or 'standing impersonation of boredom'. Not very polite, I know.[/QUOTE]
