Show Us Your Top 10 Ancient / Medieval Coins / Artifacts / Swords / Prints Of 2022

Thanks Mike. It was interesting to see that this style of Alexander's coinage was still being replicated hundreds of years later.

The amazing diversity of superb coins, plus Bob's weaponry and pottery have made this one of my favourite threads. All the photography is to to a very high standard, and kudos to Paul for the original idea.

I mentioned a BI Tetradrachm of Elagabalus a while back, have bitten the bullet and put a bid in. The coin does have quite an interesting portrait, so fingers crossed.

Best wishes to you and the members of CCF for 2023.

Happy New Year to my CCF friends and everyone in our hobby.

I only acquired one ancient coin in 2022, sadly, a situation which I would much like to remedy in 2023, perhaps to acquire at least two of them. Unfortunately, work and bills must be prioritized over filling cabinet space.

Picked up this Gallienus as an unattributed random "Roman" coin mostly for the Luna Lucifera reverse which is a refreshing change from the "zoo" coins and seems to be a bit less common. It has a little bit more silvering than what's seen in the photos.
