<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8335993, member: 86498"]Syracuse Ar Tetradrachm Gelon I 480-475 BC. Obv Charioteer driving slow quadriga right Nike flying above crowning horses. Rv Head of Arethusa right surrounded by 4 dolphins Boehringer 85 HGC 1306 17.36 grms 24 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1477920[/ATTACH]Back in 2020 I was on something of a mission. I had decided to acquire one of these early tetradrachms of Syracuse minted during the reign of Gelon. New York was a bit of a bust as I got seduced by a tetradrachm minted during the period of the democracy. However later that year at a NAC Auction I had another chance and I got this one. It should be noted that there were three such tetradrachms from Syracuse at that auction one of which was won by another CT er. I know he really wanted that one which was okay by me because of the three this one was my favorite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
