Show your Cherronesos Thrace AR Hemidrachms

I know these are common enough coins, but I always marvel at the amount of detail placed on such small flans. I recently purchased two and I already owned one. There are so many varieties out there. I know I will never own many of these, so I would like to see what each of you have in your collections. Here are my three:

All three have the same obverse: Forepart of lion right, head turned back
All three are dated 400-350 BC
1. BMC 11,

Reverse: Quadripartite incuse square, pellet and bunch of grapes in sunken quarters
2.37g, 12mm


2. BMC 8

Reverse: Quadripartite incuse square, a pellet in each of the two sunken quarters
2.16g, 12mm

Love the detail on the lion Batman. I was eyeing one with the Crested Helmet. Very nice.

 

Thanks Bing

Bought it (for the lion) from a reputable dealer attributed as the more common pellet/pellet in incuse rev. Was quite happy when I got it and realized that one of the pellet was an helmet :b8nce:

 

Nice.
