<p>[QUOTE="Gao, post: 1221641, member: 19409"]In general, Roman coins are more common than Greek, but there are commons and rares for almost any grouping you make. The most common coins are almost certainly Roman bronzes from the fourth century, particularly the Constantinian dynasty. Egypt really only made immitations of Attic tetradrachms and I think briefly some coins on Persian standards before the Greeks conquered them, at least as far as I know, and those are certainly rare, but not the most expensive coins out there. Coins from Egypt under Greek rule are reasonably common, and under Roman rule, they become very common, particularly tetradrachms from the late third century AD. As for which culture is the rarest, it's hard to say. Plenty of very obscure ancient cultures made coins, and I certainly haven't studied them all. It could very well be some extremely obscure, virtually forgotten society in India or something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
