Absolutely beautiful. I still don't have any coins in this shape Since there are only 6-7 US coins that can fit that category I'm looking forward to seeing a wide variety of world coins for this thread  |

I'm curious as to what the coin in the first post is, I've new at coin collecting and have never seen a rectangular coin before, It's pretty neat.

As for some somewhat older horse-and-riders of my own: Kings of Kabul (Afghanistan), silver jital, circa 850 AD.  Kushan Empire (Afghanistan/Pakistan), copper unit of King Wima Takha Soter Megas (55-105 AD).  Indo-Scythian Kingdom (Pakistan/India), base-silver tetradrachm of King Azes, circa 57 BC to 30 AD)  Roman Republic, silver denarius of Consul P. Crepusius, 82 BC  Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
