No Dacian one! Otherwise, that will make a nice selection of "pocket change" for all those Romans posted lately. Carolly

Sorry about the Dacian:) They're done from photos of real coins (to the best of my ability anyway:) and these are all the coins in the collection I borrowed. I may be able to get my hands on more sometime:)

Incidentally, I haven't got a clue what any of them are really. They all have labels on their plastic bags but they are mostly catalogue numbers.

Every king and emperor and major city has minted its own coins at some point in its history, so nobody can be expected to have all of them (although those collectors are trying). Your associate has an incredible collection of very nice coins. My RPG character, Phoenicia (she is the phoenix, which took the group forever to figure out), has a genuine Phoenician coin (goddess of luck on one side, victory on the other... how can I lose a coin toss?). I have another character, descended from the Dacians, so scoured online coin catalogs hunting for the appropraiate coin for her. Found Roman coins commemorating the victory over Dacia. I thought virtual coins for virtual characters might save a a lot of real ones! Thanks for sharing so many of these with us. Carolly
