But earlier this month I had finished my uni year, so decided to treat myself and finally bought the coin!</p><p>Although weakly struck on a small flan, there&#039;re couple of things going on,</p><p>1. It&#039;s the heaviest I&#039;ve seen from looking up online archives and auctions,</p><p>2. This one also seems to be an uncommon variety with the bee and the legends swapping sides. </p><p><br /></p><p>Seller&#039;s image</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1393258[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My image after I removed the gunk on the grapes, also showing the thicc edge!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1393259[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>CILICIA, Soloi, (430-390 B.C.), stater (11.1 gms.), obverse Female figure (Amazon) kneeling left, examining bow, in field, right mask of satyr., reverse Bunch of grapes with stalk, in lower left field fly and the inscription ΣOΛEΩN to the right, the whole within shallow incuse square, (Dewing 2492; SNG Von Aulock 5858 var; Sear 5601).</p><p><br /></p><p>Post any coins from Cilicia or coins with grapes![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
