Theme GalleriesGalleries for various types of coins, including themes such as specific emperors, animals or campgates. These galleries are open for all members to post coins.
Post unpublished coins to identify them to collectors, scholars, authors, and publishers. Also post coins unlisted in major references but perhaps included in a scarce publication. Before uploading here, we recommend posting your coin on the discussion board for possible identification of a published example. Please identify the references checked.
If you have a superb coin post it here. Only the very best example of each type (RIC number for example) with a four star rating or above will stay. If anyone posts a better example the current example will be deleted. If your coin is posted here, you get bragging rights and perhaps even a higher price if you sell (list it as "Best of the Type in FORVM's Gallery!").
A superb portrait appears that it could come to life. Many or most coin portraits actually lack this trait. A masterpiece portrait not only appears that it could come to life, but also makes an impression of what the subject was like, what they were thinking or how they felt.
Each Roman mint had its own style. Learning about these styles will help with attribution and authentication. Discussion board members please share your knowledge here - post pics and explain the features that distinguish the mint from which it originated.
We hope this gallery will become a great reference for countermarks. Please add your countermarked coins to this gallery with as much reference information as possible.
