Showcase Your Budget Ancients: $25 - 50 Edition

After noticing a generally uncertain attitude towards ancients and medievals from the general pool of collectors, I figured we could benefit from a thread to showcase and discuss coins that can be collected within a certain beginner's budget.

For this thread, the budget will be $25 to $50, not accounting for shipping.

Contributors, please feel free to share any coin from your collection that you feel meets this budget requirement. Price paid is not necessarily a factor, as long as the results would be repeatable; e.g. a mis-attributed  coin purchased for $5 that is "worth" $50 would not belong here, because the coin may never be available for that price again.

In addition to the pictures of the coin, please also feel free to elaborate:

- When and where was this coin made?
- Who made it?
- How common or scarce is it?
- What is special about it?
- What level of experience would you recommend before pursuing a similar piece (How common are fakes? How available is literature on these coins?)

For those who are still learning (e.g. all of us here) please feel free to chime in with questions or discussion points!
