<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andy, post: 97914, member: 645&quot;]I love looking at the ancient coins. The amazing art work and detail mixed with the history amazes me. My favorite is the Paris II from the ancient greece gaul mix that shows a head with long locks and a horse with pellets around it. If you ask me Pablo Piccasso also saw this coin and was inspired.</p><p>But that is not the purpose of this thread. The title reflects what I was thinking for it was the first time I noticed a coin that escaped my viewing in the past. It is listed as being from cyzicus and is First Period 550-500 BC. What strikes me is how this ancient coin is surrounded by emperors and warriors coins yet it is struck showing a crab carrying a fish head. Imagine that, a gold coin with a crab carrying a fish head. Must be some story or funny joke behind that one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
