I get the mention in the source section of the infobox. However, we should separate a simple vectorization and an artistic recreation or reinterpretation of an ancient coin, something, actually, which is quite common in Greece with many municipalities following that path for the creation of their respective logos. 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ^{ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ} 07:45, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

At best this should be moved to a fair use license on Wikipedia. There seems to be an ever-increasing number of people on Wikimedia over the years who are members of the purity brigade and whose sole purpose / source of joy in life is to delete files on spurious grounds. I would highly contest whether vectorising a 2000 year old coin counts as copyrighted material. It is not an original work. Sarah fides (talk) 10:49, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

If personal attacks are your only "argument" here... 🙄🤦‍♂️ 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ^{ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ} 13:45, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry you feel that the generic comment about user behaviour over recent years applies to you. Can you elaborate further on why you think simple black & white scans of ancient coins qualify for copyright? They are a reproduction of an ancient artwork. Sarah fides (talk) 19:05, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
