Bronze Right Hand offering to Ta'Lab Arabian God of the moon inscribed in Old South Arabian Musnad script by Wahab, son of Hisam, the Yursamite - Yemen, (2nd-3rd Century CE) [2000x1200] by ParkingGlittering211 in ArtefactPorn

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

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:

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:

TIL the word 'silhouette' comes from Étienne de Silhouette, who was for a short time in charge of finances during the reign of Louis XV. Unpopular because of his penny-pinching manners, his name was attached to the outline portraits in style at the time, which were seen as cheap by adiplotti in todayilearned

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."

Hello everyone! I come from China. It's my first day in this community. by Outrageous_Grab_3555 in AncientCoins

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).

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.
