    If you zoom in you can see a cute little depiction of the winged serpents on the front of the biga.

    Luckily @TIF was asleep during the auction or I doubt I would have walked away with this... :p

    Sigh... such a beautiful coin. I think I'll be eternally kicking myself for being the underbidder on it.

    Yeah... had I seen the coin I would have definitely raised the price for one of us! Sigh. At least it's in the family :).
