African liberty. As its name implies, the nation of Liberia was founded upon the ideal of Liberty (for freed American slaves). Here is Lady Liberty on a proof striking of Liberia’s first coin type, the 1847 cent.
Next: another first (or early) issue from a then-new nation.
First (and the only) issue of coins of a single year of the Republic of Biafra.
Republic of Biafra was a partially recognised secessionist state in West Africa that declared independence from Nigeria and existed from 1967 until 1970. Its territory consisted of the predominantly Igbo-populated Eastern Region of Nigeria.

The next coin with beautiful woman.
Ohh... The most expensive coins i sold 2 months ago for 11,5k$ and 10,5k$ another:
Oh, I'll go to cry so i don't have it.
Early dollar US is my dream, the time of great men but now i don't try to buy it, maybe later... And Hong Kong dollar 1867 is in my wishlist and some another coins.
Ps. Don't choose another theme because I don't show what i have today.
Cab-cab-cab-caballito
The next coin with the quote from speech or aphorism. Maybe somebody understand what the coin i mean with the speech's quote (USA, silver).
So... Lincoln's speech in Gettinsberg, 1863.
I would have something like "the government of the people, by the people, for the people" in my country.
The next coin with woman with torch. Not caballito, not US coin. If it's very difficult another coin with the torch.

Next, a 'modern' coin inspired by an ancient. Bonus points if you post a corresponding ancient. And modern means the last 3 centuries just to be arbitrary about it.
Really it's very easy.
All republican style is the reference to antiquity
So...
The next coin issued by ruler who killed another ruler the same country. If it's very difficult the coin issued by ruler killed by his lover's brother. Oh, i know one man for this two conditions...

I don't have bees, either, though it's a good theme.
