[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8238676, member: 91461"]At a [B]WHOPPING[/B], and I mean, whopping 1.06 gr and an expansive 10.5 MM, this little rarity was picked up in a lot at the last Savoca auction. And to me worth what I paid for the lot... despite me still not having a positive ID on er. I've never come across the type before, and I LOVE it! You've got the Labyrs (double sided axe) and Trident:jimlad:. It was in a lot that's majority was Macedonian, but also contained classical coins. I'm fairly sure this is the former: (Natural vs artificial lighting from my phone) [ATTACH=full]1449864[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1449821[/ATTACH] Of course when I saw the obverse I assumed it was either the shield or wreath versions with [ATTACH=full]1449865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1449866[/ATTACH] helmet reverse... but no! A freaking, weapon of choice for the God of the sea, TRIDENT! With writing I've yet to decipher :wideyed: So, who made who? [MEDIA=youtube]PiZHNw1MtzI[/MEDIA] Any help or points in the right direction are appreciated... as well as Rad coins with ancient weapons all over them:punch::rage:[/QUOTE]
