<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Only a Poor Old Man, post: 4259578, member: 111037&quot;]Gorgons are a common theme in coins and they come in all shapes and sizes... I wanted one in my collection, but I wanted one that smiled at me and I believe the following one actually does (or maybe she is mocking me)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1085748[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Many of them are poorly struck or worn or off-center, but I think this one is ideal, perhaps not as scary as I would like, but kinda cute in her own way!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1085749[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is of course a hemidrachm from Mysia, Parion, struck between 350 and 300 BC. 13 mm - 2.36 gr.</p><p><br /></p><p>I opened the package with gloves and washed my hands like 3 times... Also due to the current pestilence, this will probably be my last new coin for a while (hopefully not the last ever). Partly because deliveries will become tricky, mostly because I had to accept a temporary (hopefully) salary reduction in order to avoid redudancy.. It also happened to other people I know in all sorts of jobs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
