A coin that depicts some architecture. (Camp gate, temple, triumphal arch, column. etc.)
6 point bonus if you have never entered a coin before (Tell us.)
3 point bonus if you started collecting ancients after Jan. 1, 2011 (i.e. in the last two years. Tell us.)
The Smackdown rules are as follows:
1) At most (2) two entries per member.
2) Voting: Vote for three in order of preference, Gold (3 pts), Silver (2 pts), Bronze (1 pt).
3) Host computes the vote totals and announces the winner. Host may enter but cannot win. Winner chooses next Smackdown subject and is the next host.
4) You do not have to enter a coin to vote but please do try to enter something.
5) Base your votes on any criteria you like
6) Number of golds will be the first tie breaker. If two coins have the same score and the same number of golds it will be the host's choice.
7) Enjoy.
Entries are accepted from now until Wednesday Oct. 3 at 11:00 pm Eastern time. Voting will last two days until Friday Oct. 5 at 11:00 pm Eastern time.

Amazingly, I don't have any coin depicting major architecture like a temple or campgate. Looks like I'm out of this one...

Well actually I do have this tiny AE4 campgate, but the reverse practically defines terrible  ... its too ugly for me to post it among all these nice-looking coins that have and will be posted. Edited by VisigothKing

I have a couple of alters if alters are allowed I also have statues representing temples but I'm not sure if those count. I do have have a humble campgate that has been seen before. I must admit - I need more coins.
