Interesting ancient coins?

dan1ecu

Hi, Everybody -

Would you tell me what you think are the most interesting ancient coins? I'm looking for ones that modern people - ones with an average knowledge of history - will find exciting. For instance, everyone has heard of Julius Caesar. A coin with his portrait would be interesting. Can you think of any others?

Thanks,

Dan

bronze sesterius and silver coins of these roman emperors: Tiberius, Nero, Caligula, Galba, Otho. Any big greek silver coin. The silver shekels of Tyre (high priced cuz they are considered to be the 30 pieces of silver paid to Judas)
