<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 7651503, member: 91461&quot;]Very cool coin and nice upgrade!</p><p>Here&#039;s a recent purchase of a geographic personification:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1315536[/ATTACH]</p><p>Scythia. Olbia circa 310-280 BC. Bronze Æ 19mm. 5,69g. Horned head of Borysthenes left / Axe and bow in bowcase; monogram to left, OΛBIO upwards to right. good very fine Frolova &amp; Abramzon 721-30; Anokhin 297; SNG BM Black Sea 453. VF</p><p>&quot;Borysthenes is a geographical name from classical antiquity. The term usually refers to the Dnieper River and its eponymous river god, but also seems to have been an alternative name for Pontic Olbia, a town situated near the mouth of the same river on the Black Sea coast, or the earlier settlement on Berezan Island.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
