<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2601527, member: 77077&quot;]I received this coin for Christmas from my awesome wife. It has been on my want list for many years but they are hard to find in nice condition. I really like lions on ancient coins, who doesn&#039;t? The very elegant rendering of the ox also caught my eye. There is something in the reverse field in front of the ox&#039;s left hoof that I can&#039;t figure out, anyone know what this is?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]567991[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Islands off Ionia, SAMOS, AR Didrachm, 6.57 gm, circa 310-300 BC. </p><p>Obverse: Lion scalp</p><p>Reverse NANISKOS, Forepart of an ox charging right, SA (followed by M?)</p><p>Very rare.
