[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7963057, member: 80952"]Another Flavian treasure for a Flavian fanatic :) I always admire small coins and I was surprised when I found out about them. Before collecting ancient coins, I used to think all of them are 20-25 mm. I was aware about the Sestertius being a large coin but I thought all of them are very rare. As for small coins - I didn't know they existed. Here are my favorite small portraits. The coin is not well centered but this doesn't make the portraits less beautiful. I always liked facing busts, as on most of the coins we see profiles. [ATTACH=full]1380488[/ATTACH] CILICIA, Nagidos(ca 400-380 BC) AR Obol Head of Aphrodite facing slightly right; [N] to left Rev: Wreathed head of young Dionysos facing slightly left; [N] to left. Göktürk 2; SNG France –; SNG Levante 6. 0,56 g, 11 mm[/QUOTE]
