Trinken Sie Milch Herr Alegandron?

 

LOL, no... not a milk drinker... Lotsa water, tea, coffee... occassional Bier! Trying to be a good boy now...

 

Milch ist für Kätzchen.

Never cared for Bitburger Pils. Much preferred Würzburger Hofbräu Pils.

 

Bit is light. (to me). I also liked the Alt biers... Not sure if I have had a Wurz... Tried a bunch, but not that one.

Nope, Milk is only for the Lion CUBS...

 

Alegandalf => wow, you brought this old thread back to life!! (what made you look it up one year later, to the day?) ... well one year and one day later ...

=> man, I love seeing old threads

Curious Charles => did you return that coin?

 

Last year I acquired the Tet...saw it again the other day and thought it was cool. Searched to see if there was a similar thread (instead of starting one), and contributed. I promised others that I would post some of my coins... So, contributing, albeit a year later. fun.

 

That's very efficient of you ... good job!!

 

@S6. Yes I did return that coin and exchange it with many other coins and stamps. As for the time being, I think I'm going to acquire one or more silver Tets of Alexander the Great.

 

Here's mine... Phrygia.

 

Ooow, that's a very pretty example, Loong-S (nice)



... I love your two examples as well, Mentor

=> cheers (hey, it's Friday!!)

 

Thanks @stevex6 .. animals on coins sure is nice even if they are snakes.. and happy Friday everyone

Welcome to CoinTalk Ancients, Devi!

As for animals on ancient coins, there is an incredible array. Not long ago we had a thread about the subject:

https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancient-coin-animals-by-alphabet.267837/#post-2222372

The final listing of animals shown in the long thread can be found on p. 21 of that thread, although there were many coins shown after that summary.

 

Old thread but I found this one at a dealer who normally doesn't have ancients. Cheap enough I had to bring it home. Haven't done any research yet but it's 12.4g.
