<p>[QUOTE="EtTu, post: 8440042, member: 103344"]Just thought I'd resurrect this thread to add several types that have yet to be represented here. The first is a gryphon walking right.

This was a very hard coin to photograph and perhaps I'll retry at a later time when I have better lighting and maybe improve my photography skills which are minimal at the moment. This coin in hand has very pleasant silvering and detail, but for some reason the green encrustations kind of took over the photo. Anyways, it's much nicer in hand and a coin I never thought I would own! </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1496156[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Another coin i thought I would never own is the left facing Herculean lion!
