    Taking a page out of @SensibleSal66's book :)

    How about coins featuring the sun or rays of light?

    (My coin? Yeah right!) Bucket Lister other than the somewhat "slick" one I found detecting.

    I have owned this one 25% of the time since it was issued. (Sorry about the reverse, I photographed the obverse several years ago for a display at school and never got around to the reverse.)

    Maybe not obvious, but the outer reverse is from the Aztec sun stone.

    Not sure how I got this one (it's rough). Relatives probably went to Europe around this time.

    One of my favorite purchases because of all the bonuses that I didn't notice when buying. Small die rotation. Turned out to be the SWL (short water lines) variety. And it has a crazy die clash on both sides. On the obverse, the island line shows in his ear and a ray from the aurora is behind his head. On the reverse, the clash is so strong that George's eye is behind the Native's head.
