[QUOTE="doucet, post: 8388488, member: 46490"]Lots of nice coins again. Thrace, Sestos Demeter/Hermes 300BC Some attributions say this is Persephone on the obverse. It could be the first depiction of Hermes standing holding a caduceus on a coin. If you know of one older let me know. The image was used by many rulers all the way to Carinus and Numerian. That's the last time I could find it used. [ATTACH=full]1488466[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
