<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 5487969, member: 15481&quot;]I received my two coins from the latest Naumann auction today.</p><p>Some times I beat myself up for buying coins that nobody else wants, but I was very happy with the coins this time. The first one was a didrachm from the Satraps of Caria, but the second coin is by far the most intriguing.

AR Hexagram, Constantinople.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: δδ NN ҺЄRACILЧS ЄT ҺЄRA CONST. </p><p>Heraclius and Heraclius Constantine seated facing on double throne, each holding globus cruciger.</p><p>Reverse: δЄЧS AδIЧTA ROMANIS. Cross potent set upon globus set upon three steps; K to right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reference: Sear 798.</p><p>Diameter: 24 mm. Weight: 6.69 g. Condition: Very fine.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Ha! No way. There is no way those two characters on the obverse are human.</p><p>A quick google search led me to this resembling image:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1239431[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>So, this is clearly a coin from out of this world. I love it already. After having admired the posters of Deacon Ray, I thought something else than black background would be nice:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1239432[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your coins from outer space here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
