<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 3619826, member: 86498"]Back in 2015 I attended a ACR Auction in Munich Germany. This was the first time I got to attend a good sized auction with ancient coins and I was very impressed. One of the coins I saw was a rather beat up Rhegion tetradachm a signed piece by the artist Kratesippios. What really impressed me was how he used a rather thick flan to create a three dimensional image of the head of the lion. Some coins do not give away all their charms in a photo. As I moved this coin between thumb and forefinger I could see the expression on the face of the lion change as I increased or decreased the angle that I was looking at it. I made a point of wanting to get one of these coins so.... Tetradrachm of Rhegion 415-387 B.C. Obv. head of lion facing. Rv Head of Apollo r. Rutten HN 2496 17.20 grms 22mm[ATTACH=full]970154[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
