<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2411840, member: 44210&quot;]I&#039;d say I am probably in it 60% for the history and 40% for eye-appeal. The eye appeal goes without saying. With the history I go for coins that represent what I am into historically, and I really enjoy learning and reading about Roman (mostly late Roman) and European medieval. Relevancy to my culture/civilization isn&#039;t as big of a reason but I think it plays some part as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am also into early Islamic coinage as well (though not as much as what I mainly collect), so I am not overall too hung up on having to have images on my coins, but it is mostly the history that drives me to collect them part-time. I can&#039;t read Arabic to save my life (although I can recognize the Shahada from looking at some of my Islamic coins) but it looks really nice sometimes on the coins, especially on shiny and well-struck silver and gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
