<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 7628602, member: 96635&quot;]Lovely coin, these Hellenistic portraits can be particularly pleasing to see, much more than just the &#039;grain&#039; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice coins Doug, the fractions are indeed quite abundantly struck as well next to the Nomos, and are nice to have.

That stater is great and it could indeed have been influenced by the coinage of Metapontion. The color is not that bright, is it the picture? If not, could it perhaps have a lower purity, done deliberately, or these Celts didn&#039;t know how to make pure gold? My knowledge is meager on these Celtic coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER], your coin is attractive and a nice provenance as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
