Roman Coin
This Roman Coin cross stitch pattern captures the quiet dignity of ancient currency, depicting a finely rendered portrait in the style of classical Roman coinage. The restrained palette of silvery and neutral tones gives the finished piece an authentic, antique quality that feels genuinely historical rather than decorative in a showy way.
It is a wonderful choice for anyone drawn to the ancient world, or for those who simply appreciate understated, elegant needlework. Framed and hung, it makes a thoughtful and rather distinguished gift.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
