here's my pontos amisos version, one of my first greek coins. until recenlty, i thought ALL of these were from amisos.

 

Here's my only example of the type from Amisos. Courtesy of last years secret santa

I love these types

 

Thats awesome Steve Congrats!

And nice job on the tray Tif! Taking any orders?

 

Holy Smokes => it is amazing how many of us have an example or two from Pontos, eh? ... pretty cool (they definitely have a coin-fabric that draws me in!!)

Well, this thread is an absolute pleasure to me => thanks for getting on-board and celebrating my cool coin-victory!! (it is soooo much more rewarding knowing that a bunch of you feel my pleasure in completing this wee lil' hobby-chore!!) ... yeah!!

... anyway ...

I may as well unload my Pontos-ness and post my other random Pontos examples (kinda like inviting all the weird cousins into the family photo!!)



It's a PONTOS PARTY!! ====> ΑΜΙ-ΣΟΥ FOOD FIGHT!!!
