I've done it now! I've gotten my feet wet and I like it! Bought this at the show today. According to the information on the card- Ancient Greece 300-200 BC; silver drachm; minted at Appolonia in Illyria (modern day Albania)
Haha now that you got your feet wet it's time to jump into the pool itself. I have! Nice coin. I need more greeks in my collection.
Cool! and congrats:hail: I wana get one to go with my fouree core of an ancient counterfiet of the same coin.
Very nice. The Greeks looked favorably upon the Illyrians who reminded them of themselves in the olden times. Alexander the Great's mother was an Illyrian. The "stellate pattern" has been much investigated and debated. It may be representative of the Doors of Alkinoos from from The Odyssey.
