[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2775724, member: 10461"]This has multiple critters (and acts of predation) on both sides. I paid $100-and-something for this coin, as I recall, so with a $500 budget, you could theoretically find a nicer one out there. (If you do, and choose not to buy it, gimme a heads-up if you don't mind. I myself would like to find a nicer example of this type.) [B]Sicily, Akragas: silver hemidrachm, ca. 410-406 BC[/B] [B]Obverse: [/B]eagle right, clutching dead hare in its talons, barley grain behind. [B]Reverse:[/B] Crab, with ketos (sea monster) below, swimming left with fish in its jaws. 16 mm, 1.8 g. SNG ANS 1012. Ex-Gitbud-Naumann, Germany, through VCoins store, 5/28/2014.
