I've made a short animation of my Lighthouse of Alexandria Drachm. Turn the volume on!

Sorry for the bad quality but I'm not that good at animating things! I have added the sound of the Sistrum as well 🙂

I hope you like it! 😄

If it doesn't work well, try here.

Very clever. I like it.

[AncientCoinnoisseur]

@Curtisimo Thanks! I did what I could with my very limited knowledge, but it’s cool to finally see the coin ‘alive’. I’ve always liked that reverse and the ‘black and white’, static coin, fails to capture the atmosphere without some imagination, so I tried to compensate 🙂

[CPK]

Neat!

[David Atherton]

A different way to showcase a coin. Love the sound effects! 

[AncientCoinnoisseur]

@CPK @David Atherton Thanks! If you have any advice on another coin of mine I should animate I’m open to suggestions 😉

...way kool(Reminds me of @TIF) 🙂

[AncientCoinnoisseur]

@ominus1 I actually saw animations of a galloping horse and a scorpion IIRC, and they were probably made by him. Those were the ones that inspired me to make this post!

[AncientCoinnoisseur]

@ominus1 TIF is a she? Whoops, sorry, I didn’t know that!

@TIF Thank you! I had a lot of fun doing this one, thanks for the inspiration! 🙂

[AETHER]

Very cool!

[AncientCoinnoisseur]

@AETHER Thanks!!

[Ancient Coin Hunter]

Nice

[AncientCoinnoisseur]

@Ancient Coin Hunter thanks! I might do more in the future, but it’s quite time consuming, so for now I’ll finish my colorisations and focus on the infographics 🙂

Very cool animation, sound effect is spot on as well you did good . keep them coming if you planing to do more 

[AncientCoinnoisseur]

@Aziz thanks, I will try! 

[Coinmaster]

Makes me wonder what AI can do in a few years. Very nice done, it brings the past alive!

[AncientCoinnoisseur]

@Coinmaster Thanks! Yes, this was done manually but I bet AI will be able to animate portraits on our coins in a few years (I think it already can, I’m just too dumb to properly use it!)
