A win .... by mistake

Welcome to the Headless Medusa Club!

I've somehow managed to pickup quite a few of these over the years, none of them "perfect" unfortunately. The last two are non-Amisos - from Komana and Amastris respectively.

Congratulations on your win (x2)! I think you still did good for the Amisos piece.

This is my example, I love the clear bloody body on mine:

Pontos, Amisos. AE. Time of Mithradates VI Eupator, circa 85-65 B.C.
Obverse: Head of Athena right, wearing Attic helmet.
Reverse: Perseus standing facing, holding harpa and Medusa’s head; Medusa’s body at his feet, monograms to left and right.
Reference: HGC 7, 357.
