    Very pleased with these 2 bronze coins , added to my ever growing Sicilian ancient box,
    and they didn't break the bank.

    Nice reverse designs, particularly on the second coin!

    The first has that handsome eagle plus attractive patina, too.

    It is always nice to see things we have not seen every day. The soil in Sicily seems to be hard on our treasures. Mine are not identical but yours made me think of them.

    Nice and somewhat less seen at least here on CT. The second coin with Nike and the ram is quite nice. I downloaded and lighten it to get a good view. Congrats.

    Wow, Andres => congrats on those two sweet Sicilian additions (a couple of total winners)

    Yah, I don't have one of those cool Victory-lamb examples (I'm totally jealous)

    ... but I do have a couple of sweet Hiketas II examples ...

    Nice coins, always liked coins from Sicily. They tend to really like eagles too.

    Really nice Sicily coins @Andres2 ! I am starting to warm-up to a lot of Sicily issues in the last couple years. @Valentinian and @John Anthony , and other have been sating my coin needs:
