For those with an interest in ancient Egyptian history (and who doesn't?!), you may know of the Ptolemaic kingdom, an ancient Greek royal dynasty based in Egypt during the Hellenistic period. Founded in 305 BCE by Ptolemy I Soter, a general of Alexander the Great, it lasted nearly 300 years until the death of Cleopatra VII in 30 BCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_Kingdom
William E. Daehn has written a new book: Historical and Numismatic Timeline of the Ptolemaic Empire which looks quite interesting (though doesn't appear to be available outside the US yet). See this article in E-Sylum: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n32.html#article5

On the edge of the Roman Empire and at the end of it, someone was buried with a purse of coins which has proved to be quite an interesting find: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n19.html#article24
Grave A-104, was discovered in the 1960s in one of the late Roman cemeteries linked to the coastal fort of Oudenburg. The small objects once carried in the purse could help explain how people in northwestern Europe adapted after bronze coinage ceased arriving around A.D. 400.

@biff52 Yes, that's a Chinese coin, Qing dynasty, late 1800s. Issued under Emperor De Zong, the second picture is the obverse (upside down) and reads (top, bottom, right, left) Guang Xi (The emperor's name) Tong Bao (Circulating currency). The reverse gives the mint: Jilin, in north-east China. Yours was cast (I put a couple links on this post): https://coinofnote.com/northern-song-2-cash-xuan-he-tong-bao/ though interestingly there was a machine-struck version of this coin as well. More notes in the images, which are from page 412 of David Hartill's Cast Chinese Coins book

One thing I love about #Coins is the range of things you can learn about the world. At times, they can be keepers of knowledge which might otherwise be lost. This week's E-Sylum has an article about the extinct plant silphium on coins: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n17.html#article20
Used for contraception and abortion, medicine, food seasoning, perfume and as a livestock improver, its special properties made this herb one of the most precious commodities in Graeco-Roman antiquity.
Then, one day, it went extinct.
I'm not 100% sure on the exact coin, but there are a few picturing the plant: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=silphium

We all love #Roman #Coins and this week's E-Sylum has a piece on the coinage of Emperor Probus: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n15.html#article21
I have a few Roman coins: https://coinofnote.com/tag/rome/ - though none gold like this double Aureus (and I definitely don't have a spare $26,000 for a coin like this, but I do appreciate it).

Mike Markowitz wrote an article in CoinWeek on Medieval Coinage of Georgia. E-Sylum has an excerpt. (And I present a toot-sized excerpt of the excerpt!). Full article at: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n12.html#article22
"The medieval coinage of Georgia reflects a remarkable intersection of cultures, empires, and religious traditions. Located in the Caucasus region between Europe and Asia, Georgia developed a distinctive monetary system during the Middle Ages. Georgian rulers issued coins influenced by Byzantine, Islamic, Persian, and Mongol traditions.
At the same time, these coins expressed the identity and authority of the Georgian kingdom."

Many coin collectors and numismatists are also interested in #exonumia such as #tokens. Ancient tokens are called "Tesserae". The Numismatic Society of Diest have published a four part series on these pieces, and made it freely available.
