<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2173663, member: 57495&quot;]Arriving a few days ago in my mailbox was this toned little colt from Anaktorion, one of the Corinthian colonies in Akarnania.&nbsp; I&#039;m posting it here because it&#039;s a Pegasos type and was bought during my brief hunt for coins with Medusa and/or Pegasos a few weeks ago.&nbsp; I&#039;m hoping to eventually gather at least one example of these staters from the all the various colonies that struck them. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are some raised bumps at around 6-7 o&#039;clock on the obverse that on first glance appeared to be general roughness.&nbsp; On looking closer at how they&#039;re aligned, I suspect now that they&#039;re vestiges of an undertype and that this coin was overstruck on another issue.&nbsp; I may never figure out for sure, but it&#039;s one of those little details that adds another interesting aspect to the coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]420015[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>AKARNANIA, Anaktorion</b></p><p>Circa 320 - 280 BC</p><p>AR Stater</p><p>8.44g, 24mm</p><p>Calciati, Pegasi 58; BCD 108</p><p>O: Pegasos flying left; AN monogram below.</p><p>R: Head of Athena left; API above, ΔΩ and lit altar at right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
