The Gothic crown from Great Britain.
I have an 1847 copy (not an original as they are well expensive), plus a strange large item (on the right of both pictures) that I bought, and is unknown in its purpose. Maybe it was used as a design piece from which the dies for the coin were made (reduced down in size using a pantograph I think).
It is 3½ inches or 9 centimetres across, and is 9 millimetres thick and weighs 390 grammes.

Citeer: ZacUKThe Gothic crown from Great Britain.The Gothic Florin has to be the most beautiful coin ever struck. Hope I'll have the fortune of owning one soon.

Even though I think people were only meant to chose just one coin, and to revive this thread (can't believe more people did not add their favourite) here is my second entry on here. It arrived today and cost rather a lot (as it is 0.925 silver, with gold coating and enamelling) and I always wanted one since seeing a picture of it on Numista. If I could take better pictures perhaps it could replace the image on the above page. Anyway, it was issued in 2006 and only 5,000 were made. So thanks to Numista for showing it !

Thanks - I must get me one of those Virgo coins, and with 20,000 made I may be lucky. As expected it is made of silver so would cost a bit, but it is well worth it.
I guess your photo is of your own coin, so I am in envy !
P.S. I like that 50 cent too.

Citeer: redsmithstudiosI think this Ethiopian coin is one of my favorites, not beautiful, but very cool.I agree about the women
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4885.html
I think women are the most beautiful things on earth, so I have always liked coins with women on them.
I am not wealthy enough to own statues and wonderful art, I think that coins are my way of owning art in a small way. Many are made with the best craftsmanship and many people over look there beauty.
Thanks for sharing
Here's one from my collection.

I like the Decadrachms style of Euainetos from Syracuse very much. Unfortunately they are too far out of budget.

Hard to choose, but the first one that came to my mind is my 1 Mace and 4.4 Candareens from the Kwang-Tung Provice 1889 mint. The history of how I got it really pushes it to my top-coins.
