    Got this a couple of weeks ago. I like the looks of the one-handled jugs on coins from Aeolis, Kyme, and that is the only reason I got this coin. The image is a little fuzzy so I will have to re-shoot it when I have time. Feel free to post your coins from Kyme.

    I have a coin from Aeolis that has a goat on it AND it is countermarked with a Lyre- does it count?
