The Coats family in 1921 donated the collection of some 7,000 ancient Greek, Roman, English, and British coins in gold, silver, and copper to the University.<\/p>\n<p>The coins which show the portrait of Victoria with the \u201cyoung\u201d or \u201cbun\u201d head on the obverse were part of the design from 1839 to 1887. There is a complete type set consisting of the copper penny, half penny, farthing, threepence, fourpence, sixpence, shilling, florin, half crown, silver crown, half sovereign, and gold sovereign. Also included is the rare gold 1839 \u00a35-proof \u201cUna and the lion\u201d pattern not struck for general circulation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-vdht2mu-e86a35f5e6d9a815ad024064dca5c1d0\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-vdht2mu-e86a35f5e6d9a815ad024064dca5c1d0{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-vdht2mu-e86a35f5e6d9a815ad024064dca5c1d0 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lu8iitde-12be26e13d79ff93db7d21d801cdbba1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>The Profile of a Queen<\/h2>\n<p>One highlight of the coins on display among the Lady Shepenhor mummy (c. 600 BC) and other artifacts is an 80-drachma bronze coin minted in Alexandria, 51-30 BC.

Among these was Antonius Pius, who was emperor when Romans marched in Scotland in the 2nd century AD and built the Antonine Wall. The series begins with a coin showing the portrait of Augustus, Rome\u2019s first emperor (27 BC-14 AD) through Zeno, when the empire ended with his death in 491 AD.<\/p>\n<p>In the same display case are 169 Greek coins from Hunter\u2019s collection covering the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods of Greek coinage. The archaic coins shown are usually identified by a portrait or attribute of a patron god, goddess, or legendary hero with the earliest of these coins made from electrum. In the Classical period, the use of inscriptions on coins began and often included the name of the Greek \u201cpolis\u201d (\u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03b9\u03c2)\u2014the people of the city-state.<\/p>\n<p>One of the many collections Hunter purchased was that of James Bruce, aka \u201cAbyssinian Bruce,\u201d the explorer of the Nile. On display is his superb group of 3rd-2<sup>nd<\/sup> century BC Ptolemaic gold coins. It is unfortunate that none of Hunter\u2019s 88 Roman, 169 Greek, or Ptolemaic coins have any identifying or informational labels to assist visitors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jh7zx5i-ac5868b7d398bd862f923e51dcc7a250\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-jh7zx5i-ac5868b7d398bd862f923e51dcc7a250{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-jh7zx5i-ac5868b7d398bd862f923e51dcc7a250 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lu8ika9n-07570d5998d061810b586b9ece9db8b1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"TextA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">This text was written by Howard M.
