    Man I hate to see Kelleber's book in your library @panzerman . The last thing I need is someone of your tastes and means get interested in English hammered coins. ;)

    Mrs. TheRed is the only one that buys me coins. Shortly after we married she declared that medieval English coins are boring and said she would get me whatever she found interesting. Over the years it has lead to a lot of surprising and interesting coins, and this one was no different.
    92947q00.jpg
    Selge AR .Obol, 300 - 190 B.C.; 10.1 mm 0.979g.
    Obv: facing head of Medusa (gorgoneion) with long hair, resembling Apollo or Helios.
    Rev: head of Athena right in crested Athenian helmet, astragalos(?) behind, snake(?) below.


    She also got me a long desired book.
