A lifleong passion for coins, and history, inspired Vancouver artist John B. Patrick's current series of acrylic artworks depicting historic Roman coins. The giant coins in 8 x 10, or larger, framed formats are as marvellous as the coins that inspired them.

Showing the Emperor Trajan on his horse, slaying a Dacian soldier. Since Trajan, as a general, was commander of the British Garrison, it is interesting to note that the design is strikingly similar to the design for the British Sovereign, showing St George slaying a dragon. Picture.

Depicting a Tetradrachm. Throughout antiquity, Athena and her companion owl served Athens as city symbol and primary coin type. Picture.

Owls exist in a wide range of denominations. The Featured coin, a tetradrachm, is the most common size. Many tetradrachms actually saw little circulation. The denomination represented a lot of money so many coins were minted and stored in bulk for use in large transactions or accounting.
