(She cataloged this coin for the NFA sale, no doubt.) </p><p>(Possibly also in the study with Shahar, published on their website, now <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160507223148/http://www.lightfigures.com/numismat/larissa/catalogues.php?cat=3&amp;gr=1&amp;pg=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160507223148/http://www.lightfigures.com/numismat/larissa/catalogues.php?cat=3&amp;gr=1&amp;pg=1" rel="nofollow">only available, in part, on WayBack Machine</a> -- but I think the &quot;Late&quot; Drachms catalog is missing; I don&#039;t have the PDF.

I also enjoy this little elephant:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1596607[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
