Fabulous.  Goes nicely with the Aladeen.

The Sovereign is the quintessentially British coin.  It has a German queen on the front, an Italian waiter on the back, and half of them were made in Australia.

2 more 1/10 oz platinum Britannias for the recently started platinum stack. Think platinum has a lot of upside potential given it's more rare than gold and rather cheap compared to a few years ago.

Difficult to find though! Most dealers don't do them, and those that do are normally out of stock!

Progress is a myth. Democracy is a sham. Dumbing down is real.

Very nice, I have the 2 coin set coming, hope its as good as these.

I still feel that regular hooves instead of flippers would have been better though...

Today I received HISTORY embodied in 3 silver roman denarius spanning the reign of severus septimus. Th first coin with his wife Julia , the second with his eldest son Caracalla and the last with his younger son Geta who was murdered by Caracalla in the arms of their mother, Julia.

Holding these coins just feeds your imagination. Who owned them?, who earned them and how were they earned ?, what have they bought ? How many times were they lost or won on the throw of a dice ,a chariot race or a gladiatorial fight? Have they travelled with a legion or been through the odd brothel? Have they bought a slave or freed one? How many times did they get someone drunk?

Owning these coins now means I have a lot to live up to in adding to their rich history but I'm going to give it my best shot. 👌

Love this. What a brilliant post! Guessing I’m the only one that read that (especially the word legion) in the voice of David Hemings from Gladiator?

Many thanks to @stackerp5 for this haul of Roman loveliness , @Nowhereman did a fantastic write up and  I couldn’t agree more . Certainly jump started  the old imagination .

The first coin is Septimius Severus the rest have been mentioned by @Nowhereman.

Understandable. I like it as is. Horses for courses (pun intended) 😄

Hopefully its a 1 year only design. Just to add to its rarity.
