<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kazuma78, post: 7935002, member: 17304&quot;]I&#039;ve been wanting something under 1 gram for awhile that was well detailed and attractive and I ended up winning both of these in the last month and both arrived in the last few days. I really like both of the designs, but the centering and style of the Magnesia ad Meander is excellent in my opinion. The skill of the engravers for such small dies has always been fascinating to me. These little guys are hard to photograph because they are so small!</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your obols or anything roughly around the 1 gram range! (Or anything else related really)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1372520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1372521[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1372522[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the descriptions:</p><p><b>IONIA, Magnesia ad Maeandrum. </b>Circa 400-350 BC.
