Why do large Egyptian bronze coins have a circular indentation at the center?
Comment from : @luminography

Great presentation! In modern times the Republic of Cyprus had minted silver coins with the cornucopia reverse

Egyptian ancient coins are so magnificent they blow my mind!! So I am assuming that these types of coins, when listed for auction sale, are to be found under the "Greek" section I've never before seen them within their own "Egyptian" section

Traveling through Europe, I found the Pound was required in England for return change while Euros were accepted in 2002 I am glad to have those coins in my nostalgia collection but I questioned the economic purpose of such a practicebrYour thoughts?

Do more Spanish coins please
Comment from : @Nuevomexicano

That's a great video, can't wait till part 2 Honestly, I didn't realize there were pre-Ptolemaic coins My second ancient coin was a Ptolemy II Philadelphus Tetradrachm minted in Akko Information from this video leads me to wonder if that coin was minted to pay for war?
Comment from : @mosepharoth

08:16: A very rare and interesting coin This tetradrachm has some interesting pedigree, it was from the "Collection of a Northern Californian Gentleman", purchased in 2002 from Frank Kovacs (a friend of Henry Clay Lindgren, and co-author of the first Lindgren Catalogue), and later sold by CNG in eAuction 436, lot 264 The other tetra of Ptolemy II, is also extremely rare, attributed to an uncertain mint in Cilicia was sold at Nomos, auction 22, lot 260 Next life if I'm rich I want one of those Arsinoe dekas (unfortunately they are far from my budget! this example must be in the $20,000-30,000 range) I love those drawings of yours, they are pure art!
Comment from : @Numischannel

The die craftsmanship on these coins are just remarkable
Comment from : @ABACUStoPC

that is a very nice collection
Comment from : @AndrejBk

10:20 "Going all the way to nearly 80 grams" What about their bronze coins that go to up to about 100 grams? Are those not considered a drachm?
Comment from : @trilobiteterror8015

Any comment on why bronze pieces tend to have holes in the center?
Comment from : @druzhynets91
