[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3513412, member: 96635"]Great coins all, thank you for sharing! [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER] Wauw yours is a lot fatter than mine, like 4 grams more, also great portrait of Helios. [USER=82322]@Ed Snible[/USER] That one is really interesting, definitely this coin is post 88 B.C. when looking at the style.

Thank you for sharing this interesting coin. Today the exact same type as my coin was sold at Nomos for 800 CHF, incredible, but I must say the condition is excellent.
