<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 6643177, member: 81887&quot;]Thanks to everyone who was part of the contest this year, I had fun again participating even if I didn&#039;t manage to fool that many people.&nbsp; What I posted about the coin was entirely accurate: It was part of the initial group at a local coin store that first got me into ancients (even before I moved into Parthian and other &quot;Eastern&quot; specialties), and the obverse did make me think of a face in a flower.&nbsp; I was hoping that Hellenistic Greek is different enough from my usual that it would confuse more guessers, but unfortunately I&#039;m eclectic enough that no ancient coin would be completely unlikely in my collection.&nbsp; I was considering posting a Chinese coin (I&#039;ve got a bunch that I&#039;ve never posted), but that is pretty &quot;Eastern&quot; so it might have backfired.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve fallen a bit behind in posting my newest coins, but here is a sneak peak at what I will be posting full descriptions of when I get a chance:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1268118[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
