<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Smojo, post: 2713352, member: 78058&quot;]It&#039;s been a little while since I&#039;ve posted a thread.</p><p>For a time people were posting their tiny coins. While&nbsp; this hemidrachm isn&#039;t tiny it sure is small.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chersonesos was located in what was known as Thracian Chersonese. At sometime it was or is called The Gallipoli Peninsula, which I believe I read was Greek for &quot;beutiful city&quot;.</p><p>Either way some really nice coins came from there. I myself only have a couple. </p><p>Included is my recent purchase form JA. I actually found the time this weekend for my own photo <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m honestly not sure the significance each of the various symbols that come on the reverses of these type. </p><p>If anyone does I&#039;d like to know.</p><p>This particular example has a pentagram, I&#039;ve seen others with a bee or pellets, well several different ones.</p><p>On mine the reverse is struck off center but the best part of it shows. In my opinion the way the reverse is struck and with the obverse centered it&#039;s one of the better I&#039;ve had the chance at getting and got it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613197[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Chersonesos, Thrace</b></p><p>13mm, 2.0g, 386-338 BC</p><p>Forepart of lion right, head reverted.</p><p>Quadriparite incuse square alternate raised-sunken quarters. Pentagram in opposite quarter.</p><p>McClean 4071</p><p><br /></p><p>And feel free to comment but what I really want to see is all the types like mine and other reverses.</p><p>Um, the whole coin not just the reverses <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
