Nice spread
I really like that Gaulish potin!
Here's some of mine:

 

Nice haul! I like your group photo. My favorites are;
#9 Neat historical context with the Persian occupation of Alexandria.
#16 Very nice Henry VII
#3 These are nice coins in hand. Here is my example.

 

My favorite of yours.

 

Some nice ones in the batch. Congrats on this year's haul.

 

Nice diversification. Theodoric The Great is the rarest (8) among your collection. Here's mine for number 10 which represents the Arab Byzantine coin which was struck at Homs ( Emesa ) in Syria. Good Luck.

 

Great post, @Clonecommanderavgvsvs Nice groups of coins and great to see you’re still at it.

 

Looks like you had a good year. My favorite is - William the lion cut penny

 

Congrats @Clonecommanderavgvsvs, no shortage of interesting coins and history represented by the group. #17. Henry viii, #18. Fals of Mongol Great Khan Moengke and #1 gaulish Indian head potin from the senones all capture my interest. Best wishes for 2022!

 

An eclectic range of coins, I happen to like the british the most (yes, I'm still french, if you want to ask.... )

Thank you! Those are my three favorites as well I’d have to say

 

Aye that one was personal since he made one my ancestors, Walter FitzAlan, his Stewart.

 

Thank you deacon Ray! You were one of the people who helped me start my collection.

 

A very nice spread yourself! Potins are fascinating and I wish we knew more about them!

 

I do like the War of Roses history behind that one!

 

Thank you! May you get many good deals the upcoming year!

 

A nicely diverse year! The Laodicea ad Mare Helios/Artemis is my favorite but I also like your Byzantines.
