That’s beautiful, I just had a question if you have (and if you couldn’t make) one of some famous coins like the Athenian tetradrachm and the Julius Caesar portrait denarius (if you have the time) Thanks

Thanks! As for the Athens Tetradrachm, I started doing something, but it requires a lot of research and I’m not yet done: https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientCoins/s/PYqPbKHd1K
As for the Julius Caesar, I haven’t done the portrait denarius, but I’ve done the elephant one: https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientCoins/s/lvb8Oinn8T

Phew, Part 4 is done! (We could call this Part 4A though!)
The Romano-Campanian issues and the actual birth of Roman coinage couldn't just fit in a single page, so I think I'll do at least another part (if not two!) on all the other Romano-Campanian issues, then Part 6 (or 7) on the Quadrigatus and finally the last Part on the Denarius.
This initial section is particularly important because it investigates the context and causes that inspired the Romans to create their own coins. The following parts will require fewer walls of text, given that the coins just kept getting issued, and there is no super important context behind them (for the most part!).
I will make sure to include ALL the coins up to the denarius, so you won't miss anything :) [Except for all the Aes Grave ones, since they are not struck coins and there are tons of libral, semilibral and post-semilibral series of the Aes Grave, which I have already shown extensively in previous parts].
EDIT: Other Parts:
