    Obv.: Turreted and draped bust of the Amazon Smyrna left with bipennis over shoulder.

    This is my first and only lion coin.

    Thank you. I've had this for about 6 months and realized that I didn't post it.

    Tyche with the city towers and walls for a hat is a really cool type. You can't beat lions on coins either.

    That's one of the best turreted crowns I've seen on Tyche.
