Thanks for sharing your lovely antoninianii! Animals on coins always make interesting designs, and for Roman coins they are a welcome break from the parade of various deities that usually adorn the reverse (not that they aren't nice too).

Can't really pick an absolute favorite, but here is one I do like, and it has an eagle.

Antoninianus, 284 AD, Carus (posthumous issue by his son Carinus). Minted in Lugdunum/Lyon, 1st officina. 3.87 g, 21 mm. RIC V Carus 29.

Obv: DIVO CARO PIO (To the pious divine Carus)
Rev: CONSECRATIO (Deification)
