Hello everyone!
One thing I've noticed about the long running Follow the Lead Picture Post thread is that it has been largely taken over by US coins.  Due to the rules of the thread, it's pretty hard for us non-US coin guys to be able to jump in there.  This isn't the first numismatic thread where I've seen this happen, so I've decided to start a new Follow the Lead Picture Post which should hopefully avoid this pitfall and allow for a pretty cool gallery of coins from all over the world and from many different times.  So here are the rules:
You can reply with a coin of the same composition, from the same country, of the same date (or date range with ancients), or with the same person on the coin.
I'll start us off with my newest addition, a Roman Empire Silver Denarius from Empress Faustina II which was made between 161-164 CE.  To follow up, you can post any coin made of silver, any coin made by the Roman Empire, any coin made in that date range or any coin with Faustina II on it, just as long as it's not a US coin.  For the purposes of this thread, anything made by the United States Mint is not allowed so that the main purpose of this thread, to be a great display of non-US coins, is upheld.  Nothing against you US coin guys, mind you.  It's just too easy for threads to get hijacked by US coins and you guys already have a Follow the Lead thread.  Now, let's see those awesome World coins!!
 

She's a Beaut! 

Here's my newest addition to my Faustina the Younger collection:

Another long wait......this one's coming from Sweden, but I'm really excited to share her with you guys!

Welcome to the forum Bruce, you seem like you'll fit in well here. 

Picked this one up at a local shop on Saturday:
 

How is it I'm the last one posting on this thread...
Here is another huge want coin now purchased.  I got lucky on this one a bit as it was in the Stack's HK auction.  An uncommon variety in a better than normal condition.  Now I can finish a graphic showing the differences in the type I, II, and III 1870 yen coin without using 'artist renditions'.  
 

I just picked this pretty lady up.....she's coming from France, so I may have a bit of a wait but I'm excited!
 

Some new toners
 
 

Looks like I need a younger faust now... LOL this never ends! SO many varieties, I am excited to build my collection. I have no idea whats in store for me and its excited not knowing what im buying next haha.

Very neat Capone......it's always cool to see a nice ancient being posted!  Now, though, I'm going to have to stare at your photos with my aorta guide and see if I can figure out who it is! 

Hey Pete,
Is that the Commodus piece that you weren't hot on?  I think it's pretty sweet myself....I really dig that purple tone a lot!  If I could find an empress coin with that look, I'd be one happy guy.  I think you did very well there!
