<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hispanicus, post: 2533135, member: 72626&quot;]JB,</p><p>Great idea for a thread, I&#039;ve always been fascinated by helmets and am starting to acquire helmeted coins as a theme.&nbsp; This Mesembrian Diobol is actually a win from my first foray into auctions. I had been lurking and looking around for one that would have a lot of detail, and found it. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]541668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]541669[/ATTACH] </p><p>Mesembria, 4th century BC, AR diobol, 11mm, 1.17 grams</p><p>Obverse: Crested helmet facing forward.</p><p>Reverse: META inside of four spoked wheel</p><p>SNG BM 268-71</p><p><br /></p><p>This next helmet is not exactly a coin, in fact it is a U.S. Model 1917 with Fall of 1918&nbsp; camouflage. This was one of my collecting interests when I was much younger. However, just for style and design, I prefer the great examples posted by others on this thread.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]541672[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
