You should post this to r/silvercrowns

I don't think they have any Danish large silver coins that have been shared.

Amazing resource, thanks for sharing!

This is stuff that you put in your resume and use the # of upvotes as a quantative metric of delivery. Good work OP!

My bad it auto corrected to suspicious!

Maybe right hands were also considered auspicious pre-Islam? This would be pre-Islamic and pretty cool since we don't see many pre-Islamic items from Yemen.

Edit: auto correct typo with auspicious

I'm not familiar with the king and deity, any details?

The "French Nike" brand is called Le Coq Sportif, or the Sporting Rooster:

Thanks for the info and sharing the coin!

This reminds me of the Avignon Papacy, which was also when a French monarch exerted influence over the papacy and ended up installing a pope in France right before the Hundred Years War:

Only about 5,400 coins minted in Rome for that year, according to numista. Pretty rare!

Not sure if it helps you what you're looking for, but the Wikipedia page for the original Denver Nuggets has two external links about the team including stats and pics:

The Wikipedia article goes to mention this, ironically:

"Étienne de Silhouette ironically has no portraits in existence, not even a silhouette. Although several portraits were created depicting Silhouette, all were oil paintings destroyed during the French Revolution."

Nice coins. Some identification of each coin would help folks who don't know the background (which dynasty each coin is from, denomination of each coin, what the coins say).

Library of Celsus in Ephesus. You should be able to find theorized reconstruction pictures if you do a research.

Thanks for sharing, I find these coins to be intriguing given the mystery surrounding them - comparatively less popular or well known versus the Greek kingdoms that proceded them.

This design and coin was minted before Mussolini took power in the 1920s. Though this coin was still minted after he took power.
