<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2119924, member: 19463&quot;]There has always been dispute in the Christian religion over the appropriate (or not) depiction of God or Jesus.&nbsp; Remember the Jews did not show images of people in their art let alone God and avoided using his name in most ways.&nbsp; The idea of placing the face of Christ on the coins was at least controversial and ranged from rulers who did not to those who issued these anonymous coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite Christ coin is my John VIII silver.&nbsp; John was the next to last Byzantine ruler and the last one with coins I could afford.&nbsp; Constantine XI coins are super rare and very pricey.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]401776[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
