[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 4718817, member: 44357"]Some coins are important because they depict an emperor who changed history. Others are beautiful because they were engraved by the most talented artists of their time. Then there are some coins which are just fascinating and enigmatic: this is one of those. While I'm not aware of a deeper meaning behind it, it certainly turns heads (groan-inducing pun intended): [ATTACH=full]1156749[/ATTACH] CILICIA. Uncertain. 4th century BC. Obol. Janiform head; on the left, a bearded male; on the right, a diademed female. Rev. Triform bearded male head. Göktürk 37 and pl. XX, 7. 0.88 gr, 9mm Post your unusual coins![/QUOTE]
