Nice catch @Parthicus . This is my only coin of Elymais, and it too came from Pars Coins. It is also the type your example was mistakenly...

I'm not sure but both denarii have a much higher level of craftsmanship, the last coin particularly. Not knowing much about Roman coins, that one...
The Triton coin is the only comparable on that list. These are most common type of Coriosolite staters. They're hard to find well struck but a few...
Estimate was low but that coin is worth maybe 1/10 of hammer price.. I agree no obvious tooling in any of the 3 Cleos, and no mention of it in...

Insert witty tooled coin joke here =)

How quickly things change! I just this morning bought a coin that, in my opinion, could benefit from a little cleaning and TLC. In my opinion this...
