<p>[QUOTE="TJC, post: 1663601, member: 45502"]Nice coin! I think these coins are cool because of the Athena in her Corinthian helmet and Hippocamp! Very cool! Another reason is because I think the sprues formed on this coin type are super cool! It is my understanding that the blanks were made in a casting mold where multiple blanks would be still attached. Each blank would then be cut off and then struck. The sprues are where the coins (blanks) had been attached.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
