Hello, fellow collectors. I'm thinking of doing a coin display featuring the image of seated ladies on large silver coins, like US trade dollar, US seated liberty coinage, Peru sol, Guatemalan peso, etc. Any suggestions for me?
French Indo-China piastre also as an example. Thanks for your suggestions.
Цитата: "CassTaylor"Many British coins have some depiction of a seated Britannia, mainly bronze and copper though:
Here's a 1873 commemorative Austrian 2 Gulden:
Italian 20 Lire features a seated personification of Italia, but also a standing figure:
A seated Madonna and child on a Bavarian Konventionsthaler (you can find a similar motif on many Hungarian coins as well):
There's also this nice 1953 Portuguese commemorative coin that features a seated figure:
Finally, would you accept reclining ladies as well?

It's not large, but it is silver. Still waiting on the catalog entry to get approved. The front is Faustina II, wife of Marcus Aurelius.
Always liked the seated liberty series, if nothing else for the number of denominations and length of time it was around! I wish they'd put it on the 3¢ silver as well instead of that boring star.

Is the one on the end a Seated Liberty Dollar?
Yes, unfortunately it was holed and then filled/smashed closed. I have a trade dollar as well, in better non-holed condition. But this is far rarer, possibly the rarest date coin in my collection. PCGS estimates 200 survivors in any condition.
I've been trying to get all US types including subtypes, there's a LOT of seated Liberties.
6 half dimes (I have all 6 sub-types)
8 dimes (have 2)
1 twenty ¢ (have 1)
8 quarters (have 1)
7 half dollars (have 1)
2 dollars (have 1)
