<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Croatian Coin Collector, post: 25151647, member: 153043&quot;]I almost exclusively collect gold coins (although I plan to add at least one silver coin to my collection, namely the Athenian silver tetradrachm from the 5th century BCE, if I manage to find it in really top condition that is!) that are over 100 years old and from countries that are of the most historical interest to me, I buy a gold coin from one country of interest and then move on to the next one, the coins I have bought so far are:</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold Roman Solidus of Julian II (minted in Antioch sometime between 361 and 363)</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold Sassanid Dinar of Shapur II from 320</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold Umayyad Dinar of al-Walid I from the early 8th century</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold Seljuk Dinar of Tughril I from the middle of the 11th century</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold Almohad half-dinar of Abu Yaqub Yusuf from the 12th century</p><p><br /></p><p>6 stuivers Dutch gold coin from 1770</p><p><br /></p><p>10 crown Austro-Hungarian gold coin from 1912</p><p><br /></p><p>2 Japanese Yen gold coin from 1870</p><p><br /></p><p>The next coin I plan to buy is a quality one from ancient Greece, so either</p><p>the 5th century BCE Athenian silver tetradrachm I mentioned earlier or the Gold stater of Alexander the Great from the 4th century BCE, but if some other quality coin that is of interest to me came along before I managed to find them, like the Ottoman gold sultani of Mehmed II for example, I would buy that coin first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
