<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 4940780, member: 91461&quot;]Just won this wonderful coin with a noted provenance! The reason I purchased it was due to the unique style and provenance, as this type is commonly faked. That and Hirsch is a reputable house from 2 decades ago. Though the coin has an uncommon style, it&#039;s a known and highly desirable type for the series and buying from Nomos and that provenance is reassuring.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1187659[/ATTACH]</p><p>EUBOIA. Histiaia. 3rd-2nd centuries BC. Tetrobol (Silver, 15 mm, 2.06 g, 9 h). Vine-wreathed head of nymph Histiaia to right, wearing pendant earring and necklace. Rev. IΣTIAIE-ΩN Nymph seated to right on stern of galley, holding stylis in her left hand and resting her right on the deck; on the side of the stern, wing; below to left, monogram, labrys.
