<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsman, post: 4414487, member: 99177&quot;]King’s Day may well be the best party in The Netherlands. Today, we celebrate King Willem Alexander’s 53th birthday. In normal times, this is with music, street parties, flea markets, and fun fairs. This year everything is different due to Corona <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So instead of partying today I decided to go through my collection and post one of my kings. It has become King Aretas III kneeling for Roman supremacy. It’s a fascinating coin, with a touch of Petra, that beautiful ancient city in Jordan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please bring on your kings on King’s Day <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1107751[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Aretas</b></p><p>Aretas, denarius</p><p>M.
