    I called it this way because I had the luck to acquire this coin last night, just a few hours before Christmas Eve. It's an upgrade to the rarest coin in my entire humble collection. Fortunately, the seller did not notice what he's selling me. Obverse has Roman Emperor Geta, brother of Caracalla. The reverse depicts a Semitic god who is not common at all among ancient peoples . The coin weighs 10.75 g. Dium-Decapolis.

    Very fun coin. Way to go!
    Highly desirable patina with excellent artistry. I've never seen the type... Who is the god on the reverse?

    Neat! I'm interested in the reverse deity as well, when I saw it I just assumed it was the "many boobed" version of Artemis.
