[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3867382, member: 19463"]I'll play. My most Archaic Greek coin is this Sybaris bull stater with the incuse reverse believed to be associated with the Pythagoreans. [ATTACH=full]1022344[/ATTACH] Most Classical Greek has to be the owl of Athens: [ATTACH=full]1022347[/ATTACH] Again there is little competition for Alexander the Great when to comes to being the later Greek/Hellenistic coin: [ATTACH=full]1022346[/ATTACH] Most Roman Republican would be an Aes Grave as if I had one but the best I can do is a struck sextantal as: [ATTACH=full]1022348[/ATTACH] Roman Imperial could be any of a thousand worthy coins but I'll offer an Augustus denarius with capricorn: [ATTACH=full]1022349[/ATTACH] Roman Provincial is represented here by a very common Hadrian from Alexandria: [ATTACH=full]1022350[/ATTACH] I suppose we could continue this with other coins representing other ancient categories: Byzantine, Near East, Indian, Far East, Medieval etc.[/QUOTE]
