In the main coin forum there is a thread counting the years down to whatever one can get to. That thread is currently stuck at 1654. With early imperial coinage (and some other as well) often easily attributed to a specific year, I wonder of how many of the the 100 first years of the current era we can get together. To avoid confusion and double counting, a coin should be counted for the year into which the new year (or first day) of the relevant period fell. To give it a start, here a coin counting for year 6:   AE 17 issued in Judaea under the procurator Coponius in the 36th year of Augustus - BMC#4. Obverse: KA[ISAR]OS around ear of barley Reverse: Palm-tree with two bunches of fruit, to left 'L' and to right 'Lambda Stigma' (=36). |

Is that one still alive?
The next one I could contribute to that would be AH894 (14/12/1488-02/12/1489), so unfortunately a few years off.
One of my (minor) aims in collecting has been to get as many different years together as I can get hold off.
There are quite a few centuries which can be easily covered (eg some Roman and some Byzantine) while others are quite difficult. Since Christmas celebrating the birth of Christ is not far off, let's see how many close to that period can be covered.

It is still "alive". jbuck bumps it occasionally. There are users with older coins, but the HFBCWG and HFBCWG2 are trying for a coin from each year.

I haven't ventured into ancient coins yet. Currently, the 1496 coin from HFBCWG is my oldest. |

Hope you get interested in older ones and become a regular on this forum.
But you can already share all your treasures before 1600.

med, do you mean post coins that could be dated to s a specific year of the first century AD? if so, here is domitian 93-94 AD...so I guess this would do year 93..  Edited by chrsmat71

Yes, exactly 'chrsmat71' - glad that you added one and a nice one as such.
Since the various dating systems used (mostly) don't start on the first of January and therefore overlap two years of our reckoning, which year does one count them for? That's why I said let's put them to the year when they started.
6 and 93 down, only 98 to go.

Thanks for throwing your hat into the ring 'pishpash'. Let's try to avoid the 'circa' ones for starters, but count the Caligula for 37.

  Billon Tetradrachm year 2 of Vespasian (=AD69+) (Yes, need to diactivate the bloom and resettle.) For AD65, see the Tetradrachm of Nero year 12 in https://goccf.com/t/190611&whichpage=28And for AD57 the Nero year 4 one in https://goccf.com/t/192342&whichpage=29Which means the following years are covered: 6,37,57,65,69,93,97,98 Come on, there must be many more out there. |
