    Excellent! I particularly like the Poseidon. I am not familiar with the denomination system you quote as penta-chalkon. 'Five bronzes' but how does this relate to the rounds like my AE26 elephant or the silver coins?

    Beautiful new coins DR! I really like the juxtaposition of the different patinas. And of course the shape of the coins reminds one that...

    Excellent coins @Deacon Ray ! That first one is kind of rare isn't it? I have several Indo-Greeks, but none of that Maues dude (how is that pronounced anyway????).


    Here are some new pics of some old Indo-squares...
