<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 2891723, member: 83175&quot;]Great pics [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] and all.&nbsp;&nbsp; The best collection I&#039;ve seen was in the Paolo Orsi Archaeological Museum in Syracuse.&nbsp;&nbsp; The whole museum is full of&nbsp; treasures, the coin collection is in a basement vault.&nbsp;&nbsp; Photography wasn&#039;t allowed in the basement, but the coins, mostly Sicilian Greek coins, are well displayed and fabulous.&nbsp;&nbsp; There were 29 Syracuse decadrachms in one cabinet alone and two stunning Catane tetradrachms - facing head of Apollo by Herakleidas.&nbsp;&nbsp; My dream coin used to be the Kimon tetradrachm of Syracuse (which they had), but the Catane tetradrachm looked better in the flesh, so that&#039;s what I&#039;m buying when the lottery numbers come up!&nbsp;&nbsp; Well worth a visit if in Sicily.&nbsp;&nbsp; Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
