<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 8113820, member: 97383&quot;]A.J., You had another sensational year <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! What a treat seeing all these gems <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. My favorite has to be #2, the Caracalla Medusa Aureus. This coin represents perfection in design, engraving, &amp; strike. Unlike other depictions of Medusa that are straight-forward &amp; frightening, this Medusa isn&#039;t. Her head leans slightly to the left, not making eye contact with the viewer. Her power is evident but not frightening, instead she appears almost motherly. A great piece of numismatic art. My 2nd favorite is #6, the tetradrachm of Poseidon &amp; Apollo. This coin is Hellenistic art at it&#039;s best, &amp; my 3rd favorite is #9, the drachm of Hadrian with a stunning portrait &amp; finely executed reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
