I don't like people shaping history as they like. But, in this instance historical record shows Elagabalus often portrayed himself (or herself) as a woman. I'm not sure if it's appeasing the LGBTQ community, but, we also should not view history as either black or white. In regards to numismatics, I've never seen a coin where Elagabalus has elaborate hairdos like other empresses or anything suggesting feminine.
If they existed, I would expect them to go for huge amounts of money, more for curiosity sake, similar to the "Tribute Penny", when overall, the "Penny" is common and boring.

I was actually going to post this story yesterday, but I felt it may have lead to political talk, so I didn't bother.
He's one of my favorites to collect. Instead of the usual denarius or Antioch, here is a Alexandrian.

Easy, Judean shekels. Way too expensive. Would love to own just one example, but I can't justify the price of them. And the widows mites do nothing for me.
