[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 5517959, member: 85693"]That is a very handsome coin, FF. This gives me an excuse to post a similar one from Sykon I got this summer (for a song!). It has a weirdly thin, oblong flan for a Greek AE. I had some difficulty attributing it. It seem to be "rare" but maybe it is just a bad imitation of something rare. It's pretty ugly! :yack: [ATTACH=full]1240313[/ATTACH] [B] Sikyonia, Sikyon Æ 22 (c. 100-60 B.C.)[/B] Laureate head of Apollo right / Dove flying left within wreath. cf. BCD Peloponnesos 352-3; cf.
