<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 3868116, member: 86498"]One of the coins that I find most interesting is this one. Especially the obverse. As you change the angle of view the expression on the lion's face changes becoming more fierce. Rhegion tetradrachm HN 2496 415-387 B.C. Obv. Head of lion facing. Rv Headof Apollo right 17.20 grms 22mm[ATTACH=full]1022436[/ATTACH] The flan is a little dumpy compared to others in the region at that time but I believe the die cutter needed the extra relief to create his image. A fascinating Greek coin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
