<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 3639668, member: 96635&quot;]I have come a bit late for the FSR win threads, but shipping to Europe just takes a little longer from the US. These are my own photographs, so feedback is highly appreciated since photographing coins is still kind of a difficulty for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here they are:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Fxtc7dI.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b>Achaia, Achaian League. Antigoneia (Mantinea). AR Triobol – Hemidrachm (Circa 188-180 B.C.)</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> Laureate head of Zeus right.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> Achaian League monogram; above, forepart of goat right; A-N across field, CΩ below; all within wreath.</p><p><b>Reference:</b> Benner 5; BCD Peloponnesos 1492.2; HGC 5, 926.</p><p><br /></p><p>With this tiny Greek silver I had a bit of problems photographing, so I toke it with different lightning, please let me know which photograph is better! And if possible also explain why, lightning seems to be playing a massive role in making a nice picture.</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/sOeF6uy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/niytthm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b>Islands off Troas, Tenedos. AR Obol. (Early-mid 5th century B.C.)</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> Janiform head, female on left, male on rigt.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> abrys within incuse square.</p><p><b>Reference:</b> BMC 7; HGC 6, 381.</p><p><br /></p><p>and at last, a nice Seleukid, the portrait is nice, reverse unfortunately is messy due to a worn die. I still need to figure out the precise reference, I am a bit doubting about the identification as Antiochos III.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/1tWqPVa.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b>Antiochos III Megas (223 - 187 B.C.) AR Drachm.</b></p><p><b>Obverse: </b>Diademed head right.</p><p><b>Reverse: </b>Apollo Delphios seated left on omphalos, testing arrow and resting hand on grounded bow</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your examples of these coins! Especially coins of the Achaian League I kind of find interesting lately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
