<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3032507, member: 19463"]Most of these types were issued from each of the cities in the area. Amisos was most common but a couple others are findable with a little looking. My new coin is Amastris and has a better Medusa than my previous examples from Amisos and Sinope. I would be nice to get the set but you don't see all cities in all types wit any regularity. Poorly struck and rough is par for the course but there is the appeal of decapitation and gushing blood to offset condition. These decapitation coins do make falling horsemen look peaceful in comparison. How many other coins are this gory? </p><p>Amastris AE 28</p><p>[ATTACH=full]755774[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]755779[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Sinope AE30</p><p>[ATTACH=full]755775[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Amisos AE28 It seems most of these from Amisos have larger designs and less lank space around than the other cities. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]755776[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
