My daughter turns 16 in a few days.  She's mad about the classical world and civilisations and Romans and that sort of thing, and one day, wants to study or get a job related to that.  Anyhow, she was telling me all about the vicious life of one Emperor Caracalla who was known as Rome's ugliest Emperor and who, by all accounts lead a pretty brutal, miserable life, ( I had to google him!) and who, after murdering his mother and brother, was assassinated by a centurion.  She found this story hilarious for some reason.... So I was blown away when I managed to find this little beauty.  I keep looking at the CoA and shaking my head because I can't get my head round the fact that this little scrap of silver is 1800 years old!!  She's going to love it.  Can's wait to see her face when she realises who's scowling, grumpy head is on this coin!!

I love this mate, I'm sure your daughter will love it

Super fast delivery of this piece, really pleased with it, thanks @StBeesSilver

I did the same for my son, bought him a coin from the reign of the emperor justinian...his names justin..duh..apparently a submissive emperor who was trod on by those close to him.

Is that a bar made from a stack of bars smushed together? 

Yes 5 bars fused in a side loading furnace😁

Yesterday I added 2 sovereigns and cases to hold the latest kids collections, a sovereign date run since birth. Initially inspired because they had a Sovereign bought in their birth year (costly move 😂); even more costly, could be the eldest has just reminded me Grandad bought a Gold Brit🤭

Stunning Two Dragon coin arrived today. Thanks @Fadeingstar 

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Keeping my gold purchases low of late. These two I had to keep though 😂 

[SilverMike]

Lovely pick up here from the same random place, both with a nice bit of provenance (I didn't buy from either of these places and I certainly didn't pay £12 for the sovereign 😄, but did get it at another very reasonable price looking at the coin):

1) An Alexander III Silver Tetradrachm, picked up for now looks like a bargain. Amazing to think its somewhere around about 2350 years old, i'm not getting into this at all but I just liked the coin and fancied something a bit different

2) Lovely George IV 1825 Sovereign, in far better condition than I originally thought based on the photos (and the price):

 

and together to get an idea of size, the silver is a decent ‘chunk’:

1825, not 1925

1947 Saudi Arabia United Kingdoms Gold Pound Philadelphia Mint.

This was struck at the Philadelphia Mint for a concession payment for oil to the Saudi Government.  Very happy to add to collection
