<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 4289863, member: 15481&quot;]I find that I am attracted to the themes of some of my coins in particular these days:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1091975[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was minted during the reign of Trebonianus Gallus, during the Cyprian plague. On the reverse, the emperor asks Apollon, the God of healing, to save the Roman people. At worst, it&#039;s said that 5000 Romans died every day. It&#039;s a somber coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1091974[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin, however, is more uplifting. It has the image of Saint Marinus, who is said to have founded the small republic of San Marino in 301 AD. He is looking upwards, being in contact with the&nbsp; spiritual. I try to do that too these days, and believe that things will be all right again, and that this crisis might even help us making this world a better place.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1091973[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The 5 Mark Eichbaum from the Weimar Republic. One of the best coin designs of the 20th century? Trees always make me happy. Especially in spring, when the new green shoots of the new year come out. Trees give me a feeling of lasting growth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share some coins that have been getting your attention lately. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
