<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2509807, member: 78244&quot;]I put some bids in on an auction (mostly low, so I could easily sell them in case I bit off more than I could chew), and I just found out that I won these two:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533592[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Tetradrachm imitating that of Allexander III</b></p><p>Temnos Mint (188 - 170 BC)</p><p>Obv: head of Herakles right in lionskin headdress. </p><p>Rev: ALEXANDROY legend, Zeus seated left, holding eagle and sceptre, E and PA monogram above oinochoe beneath vine tendril in left field. </p><p>15.49 grams. Price 1678</p><p><br /></p><p>I may sell this one to help pay for the one below.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533593[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Cherronesos - Lion Hemidrachm (</b>400-350 BC.)</p><p>Obv: forepart of lion right, head reverted. </p><p>Rev: quadripartite incuse square with two raised and two incuse sections; pentagram in one section and dot-AG monogram in the opposite section. </p><p>2.29 grams. Berlin I, 45; SNG Leake 1691-1692. </p><p><br /></p><p>I fell in love with this one as soon as I saw it. Believe it or not, I have a (observational and literary, only!) fascination with the occult and the paranormal. The pentagram on the reverse spoke to that fascination, so I had to have it if it didn&#039;t go for too much. The obverse has a well-detailed, very centered lion, which is also a plus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now to go research this issue. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
