[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 2971933, member: 57495"]Welcome to CT and the Headless Medusa Club! You're definitely in with that one, I'd say! I had that coin on my watch list for a couple of weeks, but completely forgot about the auction on the day it was live. I love those multiple heads and am glad to see it went to someone in the CT family. I've been keeping my eye open for examples from the other mints, but you're right about them being hard to find! This one from Amastris isn't one of the rare ones, but I don't think one from this city has been posted in this thread yet. [ATTACH=full]729272[/ATTACH][B]PAPHLAGONIA, Amastris Time of Mithradates VI [/B] AE29. 16.32g, 28.9mm. PAPHLAGONIA, Amastris. Struck under Mithradates VI, circa 105-85 BC. HGC 7, 357. O: Head of Athena in Attic helmet right. R: AMAΣ-TPEΩΣ, Perseus standing facing, holding harpa and head of Medusa, corpse at feet gushing blood from neck stump; monogram to left. Another Amisos that's found its way into my growing harem. [ATTACH=full]729274[/ATTACH] [B]PONTOS, Amisos Time of Mithradates VI[/B] AE28. 18.53g, 27.7mm. PONTOS, Amisos. Struck under Mithradates VI, circa 105-85 BC. HGC 7, 238. O: Head of Athena in Attic helmet right. R: AMI-ΣOY, Perseus standing facing, holding harpa and head of Medusa, corpse at feet gushing blood from neck stump; monogram to left and right. [B][/B][/QUOTE]
