UPDATE TO MY JITAL PIC: Okay, I've got my entry! Firstly, and sorry if someone has already posted one, a tetradrachm of the Kushan Empire, bought for about $3.50.   Secondly, a horse jital. $6. This is currently cleaning, but I couldnt get it clean before entry, so here it is. The horse is still visible though -is going to come out nicely.   After a bit of cleaning - really liking the horse - its the best preserved bit of the coin.  Phew - just made it! Pity I couldnt clean up the horse. Edited by Ben

Updated the jital now its a bit clearer from cleaning.
Ooh - you are right, that Kushan one is 80-100 AD - well into the ancient zone. Its a bit late to put up a different coin though so it'll have to do!
