Yeah, wearing a fetal elephant on your head isn't very sexy, is it? :D Here's that scene on a drachm. The coin isn't well-lit and needs a...
Wow, AA-- very nice! Congrats on the find :).
Another tremendous coin, Jochen! Okay :). Here are some thoughts about your writings. 1. Since this is a provincial coin, I lean towards...

Wow, what a coin and what a set! Congratulations! :)
That's a remarkable coin! Congrats :)
I will never understand why coins are included in the label "cultural property". They are for commerce and as such, in most cases their use was...
