<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 5410246, member: 98035&quot;]Can&#039;t go wrong with Justinian - a nice Solidus has just about the best intrinsic/numismatic price ratio out of any gold coin. This one cost about $350 for 4.5g of nearly pure gold (when gold was a bit cheaper 2 years ago)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1234351[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Byzantine coins of the earlier period come in solidus (1) semis(1/2) and tremissis (1/3) denominations - the fractions are cheaper, but generally not proportionally so.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you just want &quot;any&quot; gold, there is of course plentiful inexpensive options from India, including the Itty bitty (5-10mm!) fanams from South India - only about 1/3 of a gram, but they also only cost about $20 and are 200+ years old. My little Krishnaraja is one of the more interesting designs, cost $25, and you can fit three abreast on top of a US dime!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1234358[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
