<p>[QUOTE=&quot;icerain, post: 2006517, member: 34514&quot;]So what do you get when you put a eagle, crab and fish together? a coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> wait what? </p><p><br /></p><p>So anyway, I was browsing online one day and found an interesting coin (I always find interesting coins, just not ones I can always afford) and it turns out, it was made from Sicily which was a region I have always wanted to add to my collection. And of course it looked interesting enough for me to pick it up.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, enough rambling and here is the coin...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w463/azxc77/Coins/Ancients/SicilyAkaragas_zps59210da8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Sicily, Akragas</p><p>AE Hexas</p><p>O: Eagle with head lowered, standing right on hare. AKPA</p><p>R: Crab, two fish right below, two dots on either side of crab</p><p><br /></p><p>Not the greatest picture but I managed to get the black patina on it to show. Also interesting, at least to me. this is the first time I see a coin called Hexas which means the number six. I don&#039;t know if its supposed to mean the weight or the value of the coin, or both.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
