<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 4941597, member: 96635&quot;]Great coin [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER]! Congratulations. I won some coins yesterday as well during the auction, many interesting coins. I will probably open some topics and make a write up about them, but do want to share one of the coins. </p><p>It is a coin from Athens from another time period than I am used to collect from. Also a very obscure issue in my opinion, I can find barely any other examples and information about it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://nomosag.com/source/images/webauctions/16/image00325.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b>ATTICA. <i>Athens</i>. 39-37 BC.</b> (Bronze, 18.5 mm, 4.75 g, 12 h). Head of youthful Dionysos to right. <i>Rev.</i> A-ΘE Athena advancing to right, holding spear with her right hand and aegis. Kroll 140. Svoronos pl. 25, 29. Nearly very fine.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>From the Vineyard Collection, ex Classical Numismatic Group 50, 23 June 1999, 732.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>The depiction of Dionysos is extremely unusual in the Athenian coinage. This coin is struck to honour of Mark Antony, referring to his title as &quot;Neos (new/young) Dionysos&quot; attained in 39 BC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
