2015 On The Roman Calendar-Which Coin Says New Year?

Not in ancients as far as I know. Happy New Year, watched the fireworks in Sydney earlier, 8.35pm here so a ways to go.

If you want a Janus, Roman republican As has that as a common obverse.

Yes. This formed part of my Geta as Augustus collection. I broke it up a couple of years ago to focus my efforts elsewhere.
I think I only have one Geta left now.

Happy New Year All.....

You don't?

Guess you misunderstood 'sel_69l', the Sydney fireworks are now a worldwide event (the first really big one in the new year, though the Auckland fireworks have made into a few countries at times). We will have to wait another 40 minutes or so to welcome our UK posters.

Let's welcome the remaining people from the last European time-zone into 2015.
Now the new year is rushing across the Atlantic, ~3 1/2 hours before it hits the first places in Canada.

But there are still two more US time zones to come after that, aren't there? (Alaska and Hawaii if I'm right.)

Going by the now-obsolete "Roman Calendar" i.e. the Julian Calendar, today is the 20th of December. You've still got 13 days to wait until "Roman" New Years Day.

Very few pre-Byzantine Roman coins make mention of the word "year" (anno) at all; although many mention the year-counts of imperatorship of the emperors etc, few use the anno urbis conditae calendar favoured by Roman historians.

The closest I can think of to a "new year" coin is the "new millennium" coinage issued by, for example, the usurper Pacatianus in AUC 1001 (AD 248); you can see one of his coins on the AUC calendar Wikipedia page.
