A community for collectors of ancient and medieval coins.

ID requests are welcome, but please post clearly lit images of both sides of the coin as well as a picture of the edges of the coin.

Sales posts are welcome. Inspired by the old ancientcoins subreddit, memes and jokes are only allowed on the last day of the month.

I general, just be nice to each other :)

Precious metal ingots can be used as currency (with or without being processed into other shapes), or as a currency reserve, as with gold bars.

then maybe the form doesn't matter 🤷
