<p>[QUOTE="Eyestrain, post: 1092713, member: 24213"]If she's not familiar with the names and histories of the many emperors, there are also plenty of options with reverses of all the big-name Greek/Roman gods and demi-gods. She and her friends may be more impressed holding a coin from antiquity that depicts the likes of Hercules or Venus, even if the emperor on the obverse is obscure. It's all a question of budget, but nice coins are well within most people's reach. You can narrow your Vcoin search further by setting the price range and typing in the name of a favourite god or mythological beast. I would also point you at coins of the <a href="http://www.lunalucifera.com/Zoo/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lunalucifera.com/Zoo/" rel="nofollow">Gallienus "Zoo" series</a>, which tend to be quite inexpensive and sport a wide variety of animals real and imagined. A winged horse always plays well to the kids even if, strictly speaking, it's not meant to be Pegasus himself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
