    I can't say these are my favourite coins, but it's hard to get the rare emperors any other way.

    This is mine:

    Libius Severus. 461-465 AD. AE10mm (0.76 gm). Rome mint. Diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right / Monogram of Ricimer.

    First and foremost, congratulation for the photo. These little ones are hard to get decent images of.
