Not sure if it's too soon for another chronology quiz, but I thought I'd try my hand at coming up with one. My collection is nowhere near as diverse as anoob's, but I hope I've come up with a good balance between interesting and challenging. I have a feeling it will be a cake walk for some here, but give it a go anyway.... list them earliest to latest. Note : you can click the picture to enlarge it.
Very enjoyable since I was able to name all the coins (although only the kingdom, not the person, for the Sassanian) 5, 1, 6, 9, 7, 2, 8, 3, 4
