<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 26605663, member: 59737&quot;]I spent a decent time on Wildwinds. Mine doesn’t have the owl behind the head. I had a hard time distinguishing AE18 C 530 and AE19, Calciati 197. I’ve decided that the only clear difference is the “border of dots” description for the BMC 530. My only issue now is my slab doesn’t match my conclusion… thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>SICILY, SYRACUSE, HIERON II</p><p><br /></p><p>AE18, 274-216 BC</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Diademed head of Poseidon left</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: IEΡΩ-NOΣ, trident head, with scrolls decoration between prongs; lotiform shaft, flanked by dolphins.
