saw this post yesterday:

and at 11:56pm Inspiration struck to make this hideous creation.

To start: spoilers for The Boys comic, though it’s genuinely like terrible and (until this last season) was consistently and fully mogged by the show. I don’t know how show ends as I haven’t actually seen the last episode yet. but, for context, in the comic, homelander was impersonated and blackmailed into becoming a murderous psychopath by Black Noir, who was like some demented clone of him (it’s been a while, I can’t remember all the details). in the finale, Black Noir shows up after Homelander cleared out the Whitehouse and Billy went to get vengeance. Homelander then realizes he was gaslighted into war crimes, tries to kill noir, noir kills him, then Billy kills Noir. context over for the scene.

anyways, saw the first post and was spit balling who Noir/ homelander would be, and I suggested Vanity. the mask scene spurred out of thinking about this earlier and so I made this. I plan to digitalize this later but wanted to drop this tonight.

hope yall like it.

got a large lot of coins from a variety of places. there was a Thracian and bronze antoninius in this lot that was already i’d. the three Islamic silver coins are in a different post.

First coin feels Byzantine, possibly

Second feels like a sort of Roman folis. I can’t make out the words on the back or the lumpy face.

Third coin looks like a Roman coin, possibly with silphium on it, no clue what’s on the back.

4 is like just copper at this point

any help is appreciated, and if nothing else, would anyone be able to confirm that is Silphium. I learned about it recently and had never seen a coin with it before, so that would be cool to have.

got another lot of coins, identified some, but these ones are stumping me. The lot has a mix of Islamic medieval and Ancient Rome and Greek coins (had Thrace and a bronze antononius)

The three I listed are Islamic silver, that much I know. All are in very bad shape but I believe the second coin is a half denar.

any help is welcomed. thank you all.

got a bunch of tiny copper/bronze Roman coins, most with crosses, all have to do with Christianity in some way. any information is appreciated. thank you

so I got these coins as well as a different lot of various Roman coins of very compositions

first I think is silvered bronze, possibly an antoninianus

second I think is a silver antoninianus

the rest I think are all copper/bronze

any help whatsoever is appreciated. if they’re too worn to see anything, i understand because I can’t make out much of anything on these

my attempt at getting better photos of the coins from the last post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MedievalCoin/comments/1t47du3/comment/ok2ymtq/

the coins are very worn down and are really hard to make out in person, and even harder on camera. tried getting as many visible angles as possible. the last one is basically flat on the back and I cannot get a photo of anything. hopefully these are more clear.

first one seemingly reads LIONUT(?)MW(?)(?)N(?)I on the front and G(?)TG(?) KH(x?) D? (S?)(???)

Second on the front right reads RVDOTZIM and the back reads LVDO A NA(??)A. W(?)

third is completely illegible

fourth has a horizontal K on the left side of the crest and a D on the right

edit: second coin id’d as 1591-1595 Nassau-Idstein 2 kruezer

recieved a bunch of medieval to 1600s coins including 2 Portuguese reals de 10 soldos and a Sigismund quarting. that being said I don’t know what these guys are. any help is appreciated

heres some guesses

1: copped, from the papal states

2: silver, French?

3: silver, no clue

4: silver, French?

5: silver, possibly hungarian or polish

6: French or English?
