What a gorgeous coin, and one I am looking for @Andres2 ! I do not have a coin. However, I actually work with a Chaemeric Twin. She even has different eye colors. Rare in Humans. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(genetics)
The only thing missing is the snake head at the end of the lion tail. Mine is missing as well SIKYONIA SIKYON AR Hemidrachm OBVERSE: Chimaera standing left, with heads of snake, lion & goat, raising forepaw, ΣΙ below REVERSE: Dove flying left Struck at Skyon, Fourth Century BC 2.6g, 17mm SNGCop 57, BMC 111 Ex Doug Smith collection
Sikyon, circa 330/20-280 BC, hemidrachm, 2.82g, 15mm Obv: ΣΙ; Chimaira advancing left Rev: Dove flying left Sear 2774 Stacks/Coin Galleries, December 2005 auction, lot 71 Bidding with Stacks was often advantageous because they didn't include photographs of every lot but you could go and look at them in the store and thus find decent coins that others overlooked.
Nice hemidrachm, Andres. I really like the cool infographic too. It reminds me of some books about monsters and Greek myths I read when I was a kid . I've shown these three many times before, but not all together, I think. Sikyon stater. Cossutius Sabula denarius with Bellerophon riding Pegasus on the reverse Corinth stater with chimaera control symbol (creeping about behind Athena)
That's a great coin @Andres2! War and Peace. Peloponnesian Greek coinage has some very interesting types. Sikyon, Sikyonia. AR Hemidrachm
