there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.
i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”
making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name

Huh? What's this?? Something is on this 5c coin???
ENHANCE
Numisblr, I believe I am hooked. A vendor at the local yearly coin show has always sold a really nice array of Chinese numismatics, and his usual prices went down this past one on a couple pieces, so I decided to buy this beauty plus some other Chinese Empire coins.
The thing is, I'm such a sucker for oddly shaped numismatics, and this Xin Dynasty spade (only $20 btw) sent me down a rabbit hole... I've finally learned to discern the symbols on cash coins and the ties common ones have to certain dynasties & periods. This is ultimately a good development, but now I'm getting even more invested in Asian numismatics when I already struggle with identifying the most basic Islamic & Indian coinage. 😅

So two Australians walk into a Ljubljana coin shop….
…. and even though their child asked for them to find a 10 stotinov they instead asked for the slovenian eel coin, leading to a very confused conversation with the poor attendant!
This olm coin has been on my list for about eight years now. I’m sure you can see why- i mean look at that thing! but shipping to australia has always been nuts and i’ve never encountered it in person, so when my parents went off to europe this was line of the few things i asked them to keep an eye out for when shopping.
Despite all the miscommunications the shop attendant and owner were incredibly lovely to my parents (who speak next to no slovene) and have them his email so they have a coin hookup in europe if they need it.
Yooo, congrats!! I remember when I started collecting, I got one of these locally (thank my nowhere blue collar city for its small yet noteworthy Slovenian population).
Also, European coin hookup, you say? Sounds like more opportunities to extract all the eel coins from Europe !! >:D

I WAS BORN YESTERDAY. I JUST BLEW IN FROM STUPID TOWN. THIS IS MY FIRST RODEO. PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME.
I HIT IT BIG
As my professor (who is a internationally recognized expert on ancient coinage) said "... it's one of the oldest coins from celtic Britain."
I went to the local coin show today and somehow under a pile of Victorian love tokens I found this coin being sold for only $50! My prof confirmed it was real for me and when I bought it he literally tried to buy it from me! I got a really good haul but this is just ridiculous
The obverse is a horse design, while the reverse is an uncommon Gallic inspired "porcupine" head.
Losing my mind over this >:D
Okay, so after seeking out a Numista catalogue entry on this piece I've discovered that this coin while presumably being found in Kent, England it was actually more likely to have originated in Northwestern France/Gaul! The folks over on French Numista have known of this coin as the "Potin with 'Indian' head on the right and horse" which is a common type of Gallic coin from the region.
Now, there are a handful of articles & online sources that state that celtic potin coins from Northwestern Gaul/Gallia Armorica did cross over into Britain however any information of the Kent hoard mine is supposedly from is not presenting itself. Regardless, I am going to treat the information as fact as IF that info is an accurate origin, I can find a more accurate date than "100 - 50 BCE" since the Gallia Armorica coin was created between 60 - 52 BCE and if it got to Kent during the Gallic Wars then it'd be a even more narrow timeframe of 58 - 52 BCE.
This coin is very much still one of the earliest celtic coins it Britain, but I would argue it is an "Exotic" Celtic coin which are best described by Philip de Jersey's (a Research Associate from the University of Oxford's School of Archaeology) paper "Exotic Celtic coinage in Britain (1999)" as since the coin itself is common today there really isn't anything stopping it from being common back during the time of its original production, and use of Gallic coinage in Britain was common thus my coin which dates to the 50s BCE and originates in Gallia Armorica likely got to Kent, England after being used for exchange or even moving with migrations. Either way, I am quite pleased with this get!
