A Fals of the Sultans of Malwa(not really ancient but very old), A smallish RPC from Pautalia(Faustina II) and now this one from Syracuse:</p><p>King of Syracuse: Hieron II</p><p>Sicily, Syracuse Mint 275-215 BC</p><p>Obverse: Diademed head of Poseidon left</p><p>Reverse: Ornamental trident-head, between two dolphins, dividing IEP - WNOS in lower field</p><p>References: Calciati II, 370: 196, SNG Cop 854</p><p>Size: 20mm, 7.01g[ATTACH=full]764328[/ATTACH]</p><p>It was a bargain bin coin for six dollars and in very bad shape but I could not bypass a Poseidon with a red eye! Unless that is part of a doctored patina that is crazy. I am known to purchase a coin for a crazy reason and this is an example.</p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">Post&nbsp; a coin you obtained for a divergent reason or aspect.
