Types of Ancient Coins

The world’s first coins date back to approximately 600 B.C, where they could be found in the pockets of Lydians and Greeks. Since then, many civilizations have adapted and evolved their own forms of coin currency. While many ancient coins may have been melted or lost, there are still many you can buy and collect to this day.

For example, hoards of Roman coins have been discovered all over England throughout the past several centuries. Many collectors buy ancient Roman coins found in these hoards to start their collections.

That’s not all!

People continue to make discoveries of various precious metal coins. Regardless of if you want to buy ancient gold coins or silver coins, it is fairly easy to begin your collection with:

  • 336-323 B.C. Alexander the Great Gold Stater
  • 49-44 B.C. Julius Caesar Denarius Very Fine “5/5”
  • 14-37 A.D. Tiberius Denarius “Tribute Penny”
  • 771-780 A.D. Silk Road Hoard Coins
