[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 3513188, member: 91461"]Thanks for all the beautiful coins and wonderful insights. Excellent example [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER]! That was a fun watch [USER=89687]@ominus1[/USER]! [MEDIA=youtube]kM0E8nswKy8[/MEDIA] Boy, I do love that other Poliorketes of yours. The top left coin you have I can see cadueces on the reverse, making me think it's a "in the name of Alexander" NK.

The one on the top right I would like closer pics of. But that one on the bottom looks neat! I don't really recognize the symbols but think it identifiable. Great Gonatas [USER=42634]@chrsmat71[/USER]! Just got added to my must have list. That Gonatas also made those mesmerizing silver gorgon coins that have been on my list for some time! LOVE that nearly neon green patina [USER=79017]@Andres2[/USER]. But now I'm itching to see your new Perdikkas II! Wait? [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] is into Greek/Macedonian coins???
