[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2131453, member: 74282"][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/8dgSmWG.jpg[/IMG] This one just came in yesterday. Mysia, Parion. 4th century BC. AR Hemidrachm (14mm, 2.25 g, 12h). ΠA–PI, bull standing left, head right / Gorgoneion. SNG France 1356-7; SNG von Aulock 1319; BMC 14-6. I've actually got one other from Mysia that I haven't posted here before, the tiniest coin I own and the first Greek silver I ever picked up: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/oHFYVtq.jpg[/IMG] Mysia, Kyzicus, AR hemiobol, (0.4g) 480-450 BC Obv: Forepart of running boar left, tunny fish behind upward. Rev: Head of roaring lion left within incuse square. Sear 3850. Both unfortunately exhibit silver crystallization like many tiny silver ancients but even so they are some of my favorites for the simplicity and beauty of design.[/QUOTE]
