[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3000667, member: 84179"]You might want to try something from the Gallienus “Zoo” Series. Gallienus issued some Antoninianii with animals on the reverse. You can do a little Google research on this series, but I think you should be able to get budget examples at reasonable prices (Check V Coins). If she finds it interesting, she can search out other examples to complete the “zoo”. The nice thing about this is that it’s a defined series, so a new collector can find additional types without getting overwhelmed, and decent coins should be within reach of a teenager with a small coin budget. Plus, she may catch the “ancient bug” and find other areas that interest her. You, on the other hand will be stuck with the knowledge that you converted someone to the Dark Side, but I guess things could be worse. ;)[/QUOTE]
