<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 8137859, member: 83845&quot;]We have 92 lists so far this year!&nbsp; We are going to come very close to our record of 101 set last year.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the Top 10s were shown on the forum without any other content the oldest ones would still be on page 5!&nbsp; As such I’ll continue to update and bump this thread (despite being out of almost-made-it ancient coins) until we have everyone’s list captured.</p><p><br /></p><p>This medal is not ancient and as such it was not eligible for inclusion in my Top 10. However, I bought it as a companion to one of my medieval coins and I like it very much. I picked up an interest in Ragusa (Modern Dubrovnik) after I visited that beautiful city a few years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1418337[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though ancient coins will always be my focus, if I ever decided to branch out into a side collection it would probably be 19th century and older European medals.&nbsp; Many of them are quite beautiful and quite impressive in hand.&nbsp; This one is 50mm in diameter!&nbsp; I also enjoy the depiction of the ancient inspired kithara on the reverse. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my medieval coin from the same city (needs a new photo I think).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1418338[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>...and a gratuitous photo of the city from my trip there.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1418339[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
