[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7858398, member: 10461"]Ahh, yes. I have a fondness for the ketos monster! :vamp::) Here's one from Akragas. I'd like to get a better one of this type someday, though I might not be able to afford one as nice as the one [USER=89211]@eparch[/USER] posted above. (I like the Akragas "crab" coins in general, but they can get pricey- especially the silver.) [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=5][B]Sicily, Akragas: silver hemidrachm, ca. 410-406 BC[/B] [B][ATTACH=full]1354299[/ATTACH] [/B] Obverse- eagle right, clutching dead hare in its talons, barley grain behind. Reverse- Crab, with ketos below, swimming left with fish in its jaws. 16 mm, 1.8 g. SNG ANS 1012. Ex-Gitbud-Naumann, Germany, through VCoins store, 5/28/2014.[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
