<p>[QUOTE="AdamsCollection, post: 3901139, member: 104174"]Hey CoinTalk! Curious to see what everyone deems as their most beautiful coin they own! (Or at least, since its impossible to say for sure the most beautiful, the coin that catches your eye first in your collection!) Regardless if it's US, World, Ancient, Medieval, toned, error, etcetera post your TOP coin in your collection!</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes coins are just so gorgeous and wonderful works of art we just HAVE to buy it! Here are two of my favorite coins, both world coins and similar in style. My photos really don't do them justice, sorry for the poor photography skills! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1028204[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1028203[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The first coin, my favorite coin in terms of artistic style is this 1960 5 Francs, from the Republic of France. I think the way the sun gently sits in the background and liberty's dress so eloquently flows and flutters in the wind just speaks for itself. The obverse is nice too, but the primary side is the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second coin, is an Italy 20C from 1909, you can see the similarity pretty quickly, the flowing and fluttering dress over her as she flies through the air over a detailed shield. The reverse on this one also has its own beauty in its simplicity.
