    This coin has everything I wanted on one coin. Two wrestlers, a tryskelion image, and engraved in fine Greek style. I had been looking for an acceptable issue for a while. This issue is pretty scare with a left rotating triskels placed in the right field. In addition, the artistry of the Ancient Greek engravers and their ability to portray realistic, lifelike figures, makes this a truly iconic issue.
