Here is a book about coins , but with a difference. It is not your normal sort of book about coin collecting where they show pictures of coins and give you a value for each one, because this book is much more informative.
By reading this book the reader can learn about the artwork that was used on ancient coins. Most of the coins in the book have images of ancient buildings which have now become ruins or have since been pulled down, or even fallen down. This book would be of interest to coin collectors and people who are interested in ancient history.

@lazydaizee here's one that I believe is a sisterius of Emperor Hadrian, the guy who built Hadrian's Wall in your country. I still have several but I don't have time to go over my whole collection and photograph them lol!

Do you have some photos of these coins ? Can you remember where you got your coins from and how many other coins do you have in your collection?

@lazydaizee Well, I suppose he used to be but it's mostly mint rolls, not specific coins, although he has a few of them as well.

@JudyEv What are mint rolls ? Do they come straight from the mint?

It is an old hobby, a bit like stamp collecting.
