that is a great coin. I've had just a few Carolingians in my collection, and I know any with portraits are rather rare, especially in such good shape. @tdziemia: Thanks! The coins from the early middle ages are (for me) the most interesting coins! Which denari do you have? I have another one. It's in my avatar  Until this far, I only have two of his son Louis the Pious, minted in Dorestatvs. My most wanted would be an Portrait denarius of Charles the Great.   |

Ptolemaic Kingdom, Ptolemy VI Philometor, 180-145 B.C., Tetradrachm Obv:- Diademed head of Ptolemy I right wearing aegis Rev:- PTOLEMAIOY BASILEOS, eagle standing left, head left, on thunderbolt, wings closed Minted in Alexandria, B.C. 180-145 Reference:- Svoronos 1489, SNG Cop 262 14.031g, 27.3m, 0o Additional comments from Forum - "Ptolemy VI became king in 180 B.C. at the age of about 6 and ruled jointly with his mother, Cleopatra I, until her death in 176 BC. From 170 to 164 B.C., Egypt was ruled by Ptolemy, his sister-queen and his younger brother Ptolemy VIII Physcon. In 170 BC, the Seleukid King Antiochus IV invaded and was even crowned king in 168, but abandoned his claim on the orders from Rome. In 164 Ptolemy VI was driven out by his brother. He went to Rome and received support from Cato. He was restored the following year. In 152 BC, he briefly ruled jointly with his son, Ptolemy Eupator, but his son probably died that same year. In 145 B.C. he died of battle wounds received against Alexander Balas of Syria. Ptolemy VI ruled uneasily, cruelly suppressing frequent rebellions."  Edited by maridvnvm

The coins from the early middle ages are (for me) the most interesting coins! Which denari do you have? I just sold this Charles le Chauve denier form the St. Denis mint. No portrait, bit it's a mint that's a bit less common. I also have a temple denier of Lothaire that I need to photograph.   |
