#I got the ancient drachmae from a museum it was awesome

[x1702x]

Decided to mess around and post my coin collection (27 in total):

(LONG POST)

Here's the Euros Ive got:

And then the other currencies! (Decorative souvenir coins from France, Kroner, Liras, Francs, Dirham, East Caribbean cents, Modern Drachmae and Ancient Drachmae):

My favorites include:

10 cents (2006) with the face of Venus (Italy)

1 Euro (2010) with the owl of Athena (Greece)

1 Euro (2009) with the vitruvian man (Italy)

2 Euro (2002) with the rape of Europa (Greece)

500 Liras (1987) with the face of Hermes (Italy)

100 drachmae (1990) with the face of a horned Alexander the great (Greece)

Decorative Notre Dame coin (2006)

5 cents (1984) with a curious flower-like shape (East caribbean states)

Regards the ancient drachmae, they are Emporion drachmae (3rd century replica) I bought at the Archeological musem, here's the actual coin:

These were brought to Spain by greek traders to the city of Genova, Mallorca. The 1990 drachmae is honestly the best of the bunch, the engraving of the face is very visible and well kept except for a green paint stain and some scratches:

"Μεγασ Αλεξανδροσ, Βασιλευσ Μακεδονων" (Megas Alexandros, Vasilefs Makedonon) Transl. Alexander The Great, Macedonian king (If anyone who speaks greek is seeing this and I got the translation wrong IM SO SORRY grr i can understand it to a CERTAIN but LOW level)

In total I have:

11,75 euros

5 kroner

600 Liras

2 Francs

50 dirham

5 East caribbean cents

102 drachmae (Counting the older coins just by the amount i got, although im sure the value of the older drachmae would make this number less exact)

If anyone's curious the decorative coins are from the Paris Opera and Notre Dame! :) I got the opera coin because I am a huge nerd of both classic opera and The Phantom of The Opera sooo :P! I keep them in a bag so far because I need to get a proper place to put them in, lets hope I find more silly coins to add! I almost got some roman Denarians with Caesar engravings (There was one with Hadrian) but they were abysmally expensive (The Drachmae cost 6 euros something something each, which I dont blame them, its literal SILVER. And the denarians were gold, but of course they aren't legitimately 100% gold, of course, it's a mismash of metal.) There were other coins such as golden spanish escudos from the middle ages who were 7 each, they were HUGE.
