The Schaffhausen ram is so intriguing.

Gothic Florin for me, but the Canadian gold 5 & 10 dollar pieces are pretty attractive!

That's a tough question but I'd probably pick the Knossos Labyrinth, of which I have a nicely styled stater.

It is one of my favorites, too, so I will post another.

The pillars, globes and crown have always been #1 in my dark side.

CAR coinage...

That's tough - so many wonderful designs to pick from... If I had to choose one, it would have to be Wyon's Una and the Lion

Medieval Venice & modern Albania speak rather loud imo

For ancient design - Dionysos relaxing, inebriated, holding a kantharos, facing left as his donkey bears him right towards a crow on an ivy branch. The whole story is lost to antiquity, but it must have been some party... Mende, Macedon.

Was searching heritage for an example of a Zurich city view taler as I've always loved the design and I just noticed the same design is on this 10 ducat gold restrike as well but must be super rare (this one sold for $114k). So cool

Here is mine.

I would add the following:
This is the unofficial Australian dollar coin, designed by the Australian Andor Meszaros (who came to Australia just before WW2) and minted privately (by John Pinches) after the design was rejected for minting by Australian governmental authorities. According to what I have read, it came in silver specimen uncirculated with a milled edge (1500 copies), silver proof with a plain edge (750 copies) and in gold (10 copies). I have seen the proof and uncirculated versions in auctions over the past several years, going for low 4 figures.
In any case, a terrific design in my view.

This would be my favorite, unfortunately it isn't my coin....
