[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 3550794, member: 87809"]Awesome, and the boxing glove version is a first for me, haven't seen that type before, nice! Thanks for sharing [URL='http://@Ryro']@Ryro[/URL] :-) The coins of Aspendos, a city in southern Asia Minor, were struck on the so-called Persian standard. Most of the wrestler staters weigh around 10,80 - 11 ,09 g. There are very few staters which weigh more than 11 .10 g and less than 10.00 g. In the last emissions of the fifth series the weight is generally less than 10.60 g. These are my wrestlers, one is round the other is oval: AR Stater 23 mm, 10.30 g; Aspendos, Pamphylia struck ca 330/325 - 310/300 BC. Ref.: SNG von Aulock 4575; SNG Copenhagen 240; SNG France 122; Ob.: two naked wrestlers, the figure on the left grasping his opponent’s arms, their heads pressed together as they strain against each other, within dotted circle. Monogram E between them. Rev.: slinger standing right, about to discharge his sling, triskelion in right field, O between legs, all within dotted circle.
