[QUOTE="rg3, post: 2437089, member: 79213"]Good afternoon, As a new collector of ancient coins, I am very happy to find this forum, and I thank the moderators for its upkeep. Through my research I have found several coins to (supposedly) depict lost or otherwise noteworthy pieces of ancient sculpture. For example: 1. the obverse of Philip II's tetradrachm depicts the head of the statue of Zeus in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, 2. the obverse of the new style Athens tetradrachm depicts the head of the Athena Parthenos, and 3. the obverse of a Demetrius Poliorcetes tetradrachm depicts a monument upon which the Nike of Samothrace was based. I was wondering if anyone knew of other famous examples (and I apologize if my examples above are incorrectly identified)?[/QUOTE]
