<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3015957, member: 75525&quot;]Super cool [USER=10613]@Victor_Clark[/USER] . I like the way symbols on ancient coins give us a peek at what they thought a couple of mellennia ago. I bought this coin because it showed an anchor. If you have a good imagination (and I do), you could say there is a griffin above the anchor. HNI calls it a KB in monogram with the K pointed left.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]748853[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]748854[/ATTACH] </p><p>Greek, Bruttium, Brettii. 213-208 BC</p><p>Obv - Head of a Zeus right, laureate; behind, thunderbolt; below there should be</p><p>Rev - Eagle with open wings to the left, in the field on left an inverted anchor and above symbol (HNI says KB in monogram with K pointing left); around BPETTIΩN with – BPET to right and TIΩN to left.</p><p>Weight 8.37 gr.</p><p>Diameter 22 mm.</p><p>BB \ BB +; dark brown tone; well centered,</p><p>HNI – 1979 / 1980 – 1979 has an anchor reverse &amp; 1980 has a thunderbolt obverse[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
