Ok reflecting back on the . I loved it! It was a good challenge both choosing countries / coins & getting it all written. My first thought was to make the posts shorter.... but they didn't end up any shorter, which I take as my own inability to compromise on information - & how fascinating everything is! One I learnt a lot writing was the Roman Denarius Fouree: https://coinofnote.com/19-b-c-rome-augustus-denarius-fouree/

Part 2 of my reflection. I love the personal connection you find with & the community. I wrote most of the posts in the weeks prior to the . This was fortuitous as my mother passed away early in April. But those connections made it a joy to re-read each post & share it. Today's is from day "D", , & a park open when my ancesters lived there: https://coinofnote.com/25-ore-token-denmark-dyrehavsbakken/

Since Sunday is a day of rest and there is no letter for today, let's have a "R" coin. Again, we are in Ancient . Actually, more like , and a very rough denarius issued by the first Roman Emperor, Augustus. Or is it? Once again, so much history in such a small piece of metal! Find out more here:

For today's "R" coin for the #AtoZChallenge, let's travel to ancient Rome. I picked a piece I find fascinating - not the highest grade piece in my collection, but there is so much history and information in this coin I wanted to share it: https://coinofnote.com/360-a-d-rome-ae-3-fel-temp-reparatio/

Another #token for today's #AtoZChallenge. Like yesterday's, I really find this one #atmospheric. It is a 20 Para bridge crossing token from the Ottoman Empire: https://coinofnote.com/1913-ottoman-empire-20-para-passage-token/

#AtoZChallenge2024 #OttomanEmpire #Ottoman #Transport #Transit #Bridge #Turkey #Constantinople #Istanbul #History #Histodons @numismatics @histodons

Lettering: ۲۰ پارة كوپرى مروريى سى Unabridged legend: 20 Para Köprü müruriyesi Translation: 20 Para Bridge toll
AramcoWorld have several images of the Galata bridge as it would have looked in 1890, before this token was issued but likely looking very similar.

Ok #AtoZChallenge people, I did it again - here is a bonus "L" coin! This time featuring beautiful African scenes from an altruistically-founded country, which answers the question: "Did the USA have any African colonies?"

I hope you enjoy this piece, the information and the coin:
