I would keep the top one because of the more complete and detailed lion/tuna. But I agree with Doug, better sell both and get one which is better
It's a bit worn so its not so easy to draw conclusions from a photo. Having said that, I don't see anything suspicious. There's a countermark next...
Good idea, but it's not just one die, it's a group of patched lionesses which Desneux calls Type C[ATTACH]
Show a photo of a lioness to a kid and tell him/her "this is a girl lion". Then show a photo of a leopard to the kid and ask him/her to describe...

Yes overstruck, old toning and the countermark did the job for Clio I guess.... I also got my first overstruck coin in the same auction, and the...
Sadly ancient coins are of no interest for the general public who prefer statues pottery or similar big and eye catching artifacts. By default you...
Ok that's why I didn't notice...I am still in the phase I didn't specialize that much...But it does make sense Clio being interested in it
