Nice, love the hera portrait.

 

That's one creepy owl.

 

Outstanding coin, but JA is right. Creepy owl! You buy so many nice coins you make me sick!!!!!! Only kidding little brother. Congratulations on another beautiful coin.

 

Those sigloi all have creepy owls - it was the style. I didn't mean to sound critical. It's a super coin!

 

yah, I definitely agree that the owl is kinda creepy ... but man, that sweet, sweet portrait of Hera is what made me jump all over this cool Pontos animal-coin!!

... yup, I admit that this is another Yummy-Mommy (oh, and once again, I'm pretty damn sure that Mat is gonna lay the ol' smack-down on me for scoping-out his hottie-chicks!!)

cheers

Yah, this coin is all that ...
