[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 4609746, member: 96635"]Very nice coin! I did not know that type and seems rare as well, but I do not really focus in the Roman provincial coinage. The island is great as well, totally different than the Aegean islands. And thank you for the tag [USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER] I was not really active yesterday so I missed the thread, you have a great coin as well. Korkyra is indeed part of my Greek islands collection focus. But I just realized I am rather picky since I skipped quite some coins from Korkyra since the condition was just not enough for me or the price too high. I think I need to lower my standards a bit, since now when I look back I do regret not buying some. I got one meager bronze coin from Korkyra, which I bought when I started collecting: [B][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/L2J0NQH.jpg[/IMG] [B]Islands off Epeiros, [/B]Korkyra. Æ Bronze, ca. 400 - 338 B.C. Obverse:[/B] K - O. Amphora. [B]Reverse:[/B] Σ – Ω. Grape bunch on vine. [B]Reference:[/B] HGC 6, 89. 4.49g; 17mm.[/QUOTE]
