<p>[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 3782209, member: 91461"]Thanks and beeeaaautiful coin with a Faaantastic Amazon, [USER=101607]@shanxi[/USER]! It even only shows one breast. I cannot remember where I read that the word amazon(e) means single breasted in Greek. Apparently, the Amazon's would self mutilate so that there bosom's wouldn't get in the way of their bow and arrows.</p><p><img src="https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.5XAnd7G6nN0ZWdr4sG5FdwHaGj&pid=Api&rs=1" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Thanks [USER=80556]@David@PCC[/USER]! I still have a long way to go with all of the variations on reverses and am still missing a couple boss designs...but that is just for bronzes. I will be lucky to own more then a handful of the AR, as there are some wonderful and expensive types ie, the Roman protectorate, Antigonus II tets etc. But holy smokes that Seleucid Anchor boss w/Elephant reverse you have has got to be in the best condition I have seen of the type! Excellent detail on both the obverse and reverse. Just look at the tusks on the elephant and the jaw bone in the exergue.
