8. Two-Face's First Two-Headed Coin

While the giant Lincoln penny may or may not be tied to Two-Face depending on what canon you abide by, one coin that definitely is associated with Harvey Dent is the two-headed coin long since found in the Batcave.

This is the same currency that Dent often labelled his silver coin of destiny.

Not just is this coin a keepsake of a victory over Two-Face, but the coin had previously belonged to mob boss Sal Maroni - meaning this is a memory of two villains who the Dark Knight has faced over the decades. Maroni, of course, being the mobster who threw acid in Harvey's face, which in turn sparked Dent's spiral towards the villainous moniker of Two-Face.

The reason that Batman ended up with this coin in his possession, was because the Caped Crusader and Two-Face were at one point good friends.

Bruce Wayne has long held a sense of sympathy towards Harvey and his ultimate plight, and so Bruce has often tried to reach out to Dent in a way that he has done with few other villains.

Because of this relationship, a moment of clarity saw Harvey give Batman his signature coin for fear that the vicious persona of Two-Face would once again come to the fore should Dent keep hold of this piece of silver.
