    Congratulations on getting these ancient coins for Christmas! I did not get any. (I did get a silver US mint Liberty medal).

    I saw you post a group photo, and @Bing suggested you should post them individually. I was thinking maybe part of the present is that you get to identify them yourself. Are you sure you want spoilers? It might be more fun to identify them yourself.

    Here are some hints: the obverse of this coin depicts a wreathed head of Dionysos, the god of wine-making. The reverse depicts Dionysos standing and he is holding grapes. It was minted at a city in Thrace famous in Greek and Roman times for wine production.
