<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3180204, member: 84744&quot;]Here&#039;s my favourite in my collection, by a long shot:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]819410[/ATTACH] </p><p>Issued on Rhodes in 205-190 BCE (see the rose and PO on the reverse), the die engraver saw fit to hide his name ΔΑΝ (for &quot;Danaos&quot;) behind the ear on the obverse.&nbsp; I can see why he was proud of his work. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; (I&#039;ve matched the obverse die with some museum examples.)&nbsp; The coin is also very historical due to its association with the Cretan War.&nbsp; Diameter 33mm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
