<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 5274361, member: 80952&quot;]Hello ladies and gentlemen,</p><p>Santa Claus came a little early this year ... with some Greek coins. </p><p>I wasn&#039;t interested in them, concentrating on Roman&nbsp; Imperial and Provincial but I decided it&#039;s a good idea to study this area and, of course, adding some to my collection. </p><p>So as promised to [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER], these are my new additions (I only had 2 in my collection)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220713[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Macedon. Thessalonica circa 187-131 BC. </p><p>Bronze Æ 20 mm, 5,19 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Portrait of Janus was something I wanted in my collection </p><p>---------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220714[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Kings of Macedon. Kolophon . Alexander III &quot;the Great&quot; 336-323 BC. </p><p>Drachm AR&nbsp; 17 mm, 3,75 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Really admired the design of this&nbsp; drachm, seeing various examples here on CT. The conservation and the price were quite satisfactory for me. </p><p>----------------</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220715[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thrace. Apollonia Pontica circa 425-375 BC. Drachm AR 14 mm., 3,02 g.</p><p>Also a coin I first saw here on CT. Couldn&#039;t resist it. </p><p>--------------</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220716[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Kings of Thrace. Uncertain mint. Macedonian. Lysimachos 305-281 BC. Bronze Æ 18 mm., 4,26 g</p><p>This wasn&#039;t on my wish list, but animals on coins is a big trigger for me. </p><p>-------------</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220718[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Attica. Athens circa 454-404 BC.&nbsp; Hemiobol AR 6 mm., 0,27 g. </p><p>I think an Athens owl is a must have but from what I noticed, they can get quite expensive and because my budget is not something to brag about, I settled with this conservation. Not unhappy though, I find the size/weight very interesting <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>--------------</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220721[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mysia. Kyzikos circa 480-400 BC. Hemiobol AR 9 mm., 0,40 g.</p><p>One of the coins I discovered here on CT and I really wanted an example. </p><p>--------------------</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220726[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Aiolis. Kyme circa 350-320 BC.&nbsp; Bronze Æ 11 mm., 1,19 g.</p><p>I simply liked it, a coin showing an animal is something I always like </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220727[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Ionia. Ephesos circa 500-420 BC. Diobol AR 11 mm., 0,92 g</p><p>One of the coins I also saw here for the first time. Love the style.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220729[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Ionia. Miletos circa 525-475 BC.&nbsp; Tetartemorion AR 5 mm., 0,08 g.</p><p>2 animals? I&#039;m in. Really curious to see this coin in hand (I don&#039;t think the weight is correct to be honest, the details were provided by the auction house)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
