[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 4714163, member: 96635"]As a Greek in a foreign country I have heard already tens of times the joke about me throwing plates hehe, it still stays funny though. Nice coin Ryro! I really enjoy the coinage of Thasos (like many other Greek Islands), yours is a clear example. Here a quite rare and obscure fraction from Thasos during the Hellenistic times: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/2IoYnJn.jpg[/IMG] [B]Islands off Thrace, Thasos. AR Hemidrachm (Early 2nd century B.C) Obverse:[/B] Head of bearded Dionysos to right, wearing ivy wreath. [B]Reverse:[/B] ΘΑΣΙ ΩΝ Club and legend within laurel wreath. Reference: Le Rider, Thasiennes 48. SNG Copenhagen 1036. SNG Lockett 1232. 1.69g; 15mm[/QUOTE]
