<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 4914558, member: 57495"]I don't have an ex Stoecklin or Naegeli Collection coin, but I do have a coin from a contemporary collection, as well as a picture of a painting of the collector (Samuel-Jean Pozzi) that I can share. Not to take anything away from Dr Naegeli's stately portrait, but a comparison of the two paintings suggests that a Swiss ophthalmologist of the time was abit of a square compared to a French gynecologist. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie93" alt=":troll:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1185012[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>LUCANIA, Metapontion</b></p><p>AR Didrachm. 7.72g, 20.5mm.
