[QUOTE="Stork, post: 2932320, member: 71642"]It's hard to limit to just one. After all, don't we buy some coins because we find them beautiful. Call it 'eye appeal' perhaps. A limited few of my favorites: Even though the Japanese phoenix (ho-o) doesn't have the same fire mythology as the Western phoenix, I love how the toning on this one accentuates the sunburst design.
