That Joseph II, Regensburg city view sharp strike got to me (Harasha!) as did the Zeus bust on the Ptolemaic bronze.

Regensburg. Free City 1/2 Taler 1782-GCB MS62 NGC, KM444. A one-year type with darkened patina and luminous underlying highlights, featuring the titles of Joseph II and the intricately-detailed city view of Regensburg. Choice so fine.
