Originally, I got this coin out of a junk box for $15. I knew its style is distinct enough to narrow it down to the Troad, but identifying which city it was from was difficult. After a year of believing it was from Larissa Phrikonis, I did more research, and found that I was incorrect. Upon researching the odd looking vase on the reverse, I tound that it resembled a Hydria trom Troy. I then looked through Wildwinds, and found a match. The arduous process of identifying coins is possibly my favorite part of the hobby![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
