[QUOTE="Suarez, post: 4174937, member: 99239"][ATTACH=full]1074770[/ATTACH] I just ran into this coin and said to myself "Zeugitana!" and felt a bit of pride because Greek coins are usually like Chinese to me (heh!) Maybe there is yet hope that someday they'll finally "click" with me and I will start understanding and gaining a passion for them. Even though the silver and gold coinage of the Greeks are undeniably the most beautiful they remain to me exotic and unapproachable. If only there was some quick primer! It happens in other areas. My 90-year old Dad still holds out hope that I'll learn to appreciate wine and foreign movies. At the not-so-tender age of 50 he still facepalms seeing his kid drink Coke with his meals and preferring Hollywood flicks with big explosions. Oh well, if this is any indication, maybe there is some hope left for me! What coinage series do you not "get" but wish you did? Rasiel[/QUOTE]
