[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 6650169, member: 96635"]I really like those Celtic imitations, they have such a different, alien-like style. I hope to get one, and also an original Thasian one, then I have the main 3 variaties. Check out this coin, it is a coin of Thasos struck by the Romans, but it is overstruck on a Athenian (?) stephanephoros.
