<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2423805, member: 19463&quot;]A PM with a friend reminded me I intended to reshoot this Aegina obol and never had done it.&nbsp; The coin is nearly as thick as it is across so I shot it with 7 focus stacked images for the obverse and 3 for the reverse.&nbsp; The coin is toned and quite crystallized but an earlier style while Aegina was still a sea power and was using the sea turtle (before Sparta destroyed them).&nbsp; Obols are harder to find than staters.&nbsp; When I got this one 30 years ago, no one wanted them.&nbsp; I did. </p><p><br /></p><p>At 1.06g the coin is more properly called a 1/12 stater.&nbsp; I really doubt the people of Aegina in the 5th century used the Athenian denomination names.&nbsp; Please post you Aegina silver smaller than the staters.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]502617[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
