  • Comment -- The image is high quality but the background is very dirty. Can it be cleaned up a bit?--Godot13 (talk) 21:26, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Primary EV would be numismatic. Target article's text doesn't discuss this coin; description of it confined to infobox (and taken from Commons file description). Perhaps more info could be gleaned from the French WP entry? (Je ne parle....) Sca (talk) 22:09, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Excellent quality image. If its claim to fame is being the largest gold coin of ancient times,does some sort of scale need to be added? The size isn't immediately obvious from the picture or the caption Lemon martini (talk) 23:24, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
