Coin of Note is a personal project to share #numismatic information & images of coins or exonumia (tokens, medallions, etc) I enjoy. I love to learn about history & try to include interesting info. I hope you enjoy it! Always up for a numismatic chat :)
Participant in #SaturdayNightCoinShow, #MondayMedal, #TokenTuesday
I try to remember to use hashtags like #Coin / #Coins, #Numismatics (study of coins), #AncientCoins, #Exonumia (#Tokens & #Medals / #Medallions)
Saint Eligius, Pray for us.

@leopardboy @numismatics You've got some good eagles - though I think Germany has the award for the most varied images of eagles on their coins, and some interesting - and long running - commemorative series

@leopardboy @numismatics I must admit, coin portraits of ANYONE are not usually my favourite coin designs - in this case, and without any comment either way on the person.... He looks angry?
Ok that got me wondering who looks the angriest on coins.. Google suggests Roman Emperor Caracalla, and particularly the "Murderous Tyrant" portrait on some Tetradrachms: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/caracalla-tetradrachm-from-the-prieur-collection-the-meanest-face-in-the-empire.348894/
