I’ve always wanted a few random coins (but authentic) from way back. I dunno why but thought it’d be best to have a bit of history I guess. Really just always searched Greek and Roman assume they have the most out there available now.
Also love a fun lightsaber on the mantle I’m not picky really, though the coins seem more interesting overall.
Athenian. not the whole of Greece.
The Delian league still want their shit back.
I had no idea each country got to have their own euro design. That’s cool as hell.
And they move around Europe, it’s always cool to check your change and find a bunch of national coins in it
There are even regional and eventbased graphics in the back.
US did this with state quarters in late 90s. These customized euros arrived early 2000s. Perhaps inspired? I’m not sure.
Italy follows with their Roman euro:
I like them. Sort of artistic.
Coincidence?
Aliens?
Which side is are they on atm?
I mean, it’s a great design! So why do double work?
