    Hello, this is my first post here!

    I like making infographics and informative posts about coins, so I hope they are welcome here :)

    I could not find a comprehensive picture of the zodiac coins by Antoninus Pius, so I decided to make one that included all the main varieties of the zodiac wheel reverse. I hope you like it!

    It is also interesting to note that these coins were represented in old illustrations as well, as we can see here:

    Unfortunately, in order to assemble a full collection with acceptable-looking coin, we are in the order of 30k-50k at least, due to rarer signs seldom hitting the market, especially in good conditions!

    Do you have any of these coins? :D

    P.S. I don't know if I have inserted the pictures correctly, so I apologise in advance for any mistakes!

    Thanks much, a very interesting history and some really neat coins. Aside from occasionally one of the full wheel ones, I don't recall ever having seen one of these AE drachmas for sale.
