@Nicholas Molinari 15-June-2016 "Your ... coin is a plate coin in Potamikon, number 343 in our catalog so Sambon 663; Taliercio IIIa.16; MSP I, 343, featuring Acheloios Sebethos as a man-faced bull. Taliercio cited three examples of this type, so yours is the fourth known of that particular variety."

 

wow, that's awesome MZ. i reeeeeeaaaaly like MHB..but that nymph on the obverse looks amazing. and that little artemis is pretty neat also, never seen anything like that. great coin!

 

That's a great example, too!
