<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 3374236, member: 15445&quot;]Went hunting with ANoob at the Cromwell coin show this last weekend.&nbsp; This lion reared it’s head &amp; I very quickly pulled the trigger.&nbsp; I bagged the lion along with a couple other coins before ANoob could get off a single shot. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]895039[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]895040[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p><b>CARIA, Mylasa(?)</b></p><p><b>AR Stater</b></p><p><b>ca. 500 B.C.</b></p><p>11.01 grams</p><p><b>Obv:</b> Lion forepart right</p><p><b>Rev:</b> Divided incuse punch</p><p><b>Grade: </b>Nicely centered XF with only the slightest tip of lion’s nose at flan’s edge.&nbsp; NGC label states Choice XF with 3/5 Strike and 4/5 Surface.</p><p><b>Other:</b> High grade chunky lumpy archaic appearance normally associated with very early Aegean, Kroisos &amp; Daric type coins</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I haven’t yet found much information on this coin.&nbsp; Mine has a great chunky-lumpy shape.&nbsp; The appearance is reminiscent of really old Daric coins &amp; Turtle coins.&nbsp; I suppose the coinage circulating in 500 BC commerce was mostly Daric &amp; Kroisos kind of material.&nbsp; My new coin would have blended right into the ancient economy.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]895041[/ATTACH]</p><p>Where can I learn more about this piece?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Got a Mylasa or lion forepart or something chunky-lumpy? </p><p><b>Please post ‘em if you got em.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
