Some coins are just meant to be displayed together as they compliment each other and the sum becomes greater than the parts.

 

Post a photo of two "bookends". Two coins, medals or tokens that go well together. I'll go first...

On the left is an Indian Antelope, called a Nylghau.

On the right is an African Antelope, called an.......antelope. :whistle:

Strewn throught the Conder Spence series are these images which make good bookends - George III joined to an asses head and politicians Fox and Pitt joined together.

They happen to appear on a single token as well, Middlesex 795b.
