Today I finally managed to win a Roman gold coin:

 

Thank you, yes, the portrait is great, actually after looking at least 50 different gold coins of Marcus Aurelius over the last several months, I think that this one has hands down the best portrait of them all.

Nice, I like the elephant reverse, while as for other Roman Empire gold coins I am interested in, I only plan to try to acquire the gold Aureus of Antoninus Pius with Aeneas on the reverse (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces259891.html) and a Solidus of Julian.

 

Stephen Album Rare Coins will hold their Auction 49 between June the 13th and June the 16th.

 

On the 30th of May Aureo & Calicó will host an auction that will feature nothing but coins of Isabel II (659 of them to be exact)!

They have listed the lots: https://www.aureo.com/en/subasta/0433

There is literally nothing of interest to me at their auction.

 

The Tauler & Fau Selection Auction is now open for bidding: https://subastas.tauleryfau.com/en/subasta/subasta-145-taulerfau-selection_25062024-001
