MY ANCIENT & MEDIEVAL COINS AS OF FALL, 2025
This is the category of my collection for all Ancient and Medieval Coins, and includes pretty much everything that dates up to the year 1600 AD.
One exception to this is the subcollection of the Roman Twelve Caesars, which will have their own thread.
Coins below are displayed in chronological order. Photos are not shown to scale.
Thank you for taking the time to view my collections. I welcome your comments.
