    Hi everyone, good morning. As the title says. I love any and all coins with the liberty or marrianne on them. I think the French have some awesome coins. also central and south America. I,ve been collecting the few I can find with this theme. Anyone else collecting these types? If so, can you recommend any? Heres some pics, of a few I have. thanks for any feedback 1901brazil100reisobv.jpg 100reisrev.jpg france2francsobv.jpg 2francrev.jpg frenchcaladoniaobv.jpg frenchcaladonia50centimesrev.jpg 1905argentina5centavosobv.jpg 1905argentina5centavosrev.jpg

    I have several of these types. They are some of my favorite designs too, French and Italy especially.

    The Liberty head used on the Liberian coinage was also very nice:

    that's a great coin. I have one coming. although not a ms69 like yours.:) it reminds me of the seated liberty pattern

    Depending on how accurate you want to be, your French 2f is not a Marianne, it's Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. It's a beautiful image either way though :)

    A nice Italian token I just picked up, with probably the best example of Art Nouveau styling I've seen on a coin. I think she fits your "liberty" requirement:
