<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2135905, member: 19463"]This coin comes a very short distance from being spectacular. The problem is the doublestriking that messed up the legends. All of these have the city name on the reverse (of the Neapolitans) but relatively in my recollection few have obverse legend. Look at this gem from acsearch where the small figure of Artemis is matched by her name under the head on obverse.</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1264587" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1264587" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1264587</a></p><p>Yours has a bunch of grapes but I'm not certain on the word.
