<p>[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 3375886, member: 15445"]This by far my best coin capture at the Cromwell show. It’s a nice big stater depicting a nicely centered Hoplite (ancient Greek warrior) and nicely centered Triskeles. It has the appearance of a new find so I’m guessing it may have been part of last summer’s large hoard. I’ve got to read-up on it & look forward to learning from you folks.
