I'll limit my comments to the coins themselves. I've always been amazed at the remarkable quality and the height of the relief on many ancient coins. Not only are many of these designs quite beautiful but also the fact that the high relief used on many of the dies was transferred with high accuracy to the coins is a great tribute to the excellent skill and craftsmanship of those early metalworkers.
