<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3617899, member: 98035&quot;]These are fun coins, although I would shy from calling them rare - they show up fairly regularly in job lots of Asia Minor AR fractions. I&#039;d also be hesitant to try to assign a specific denomination to them - the &quot;drachm&quot; from this part of the world ranged anywhere from 2.5g to over 5g, so how do we know which weight standard the city of Selge used, given that they pretty much only made silver fractions? Just some food for thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of the ~dozen I&#039;ve handled, three spoke to me enough that I had to keep them; I still need to image the third.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was my favorite all around - the Gorgon has been tamed so much that some catalogs call her Helios here!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]969358[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This one is intriguing - Athena is shown with an archaic-style facing eye! That begs the question whether these were actually minted as late as 350 BC, or if perhaps they were minted for a much longer time frame?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]969359[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
