My latest coin gives an excuse to explore the circumstances this young prince encountered in his short reign and the mystery of the symbol of the mint of Beroea.....bird? griffin? some other mythical beast? https://www.sullacoins.com/post/the-bird-of-beroea Share anything you find interesting or entertaining!
My latest post is one that comes with a rare Koan drachm that juxtaposes the club of Heracles and the irritating "Cancer" at his feet in this scene where he is battling the Hydra. https://www.sullacoins.com/post/a-rare-drachm-from-4th-century-kos
I love little design elements like this on coins! I have a wonderful 1/48 thaler from Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg with a little crane mintmasters mark. Most people would just pay no attention, but I love the little bird! Probably the most part of a rather plain design.
