Odd and Curious

There is no citation to support the idea that early currencies are thought "odd and curious," and if this is a term of art there is no context given. Explain? Tranquilled (talk) 20:12, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I also found this phrase very peculiar, especially in the first explanatory paragraph. wiktionary says the phrase is "(idiomatic, US) A way to designate special coins, namely coins that are both odd and imperfect or seriously damaged." so it doesn't seem to apply specifically to early currencies. The usage I see by coin collectors includes a lot of modern stuff used in extreme circumstances. e.g. http://www.joelscoins.com/odd.htm Danny Rathjens (talk) 20:07, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The example of one of Alexander the Great's coin

I'm not sure one specific example like this adds to the article and follows encyclopedic style, but I also feel hesitant to delete this person's edit. If it is kept, perhaps it needs an introductory sentence explaining that (for example) numismatists may analyse symbolic and cultural elements of coin design and relate these to an historical understanding of the location and era of a coin's creation / use? It also seems to be placed in a strange spot, under the Modern Numismatics and Subfieds sections, though it does not relate to either of these and might sit better higher up in the article. Hope this helps! Crinoline (talk) 16:55, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
