<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 21243139, member: 74834&quot;]Sinope fills a special hole in my soul, because it is the colony on the Black Sea where lived (and died/ was martyred) the saint that my love was named after. So I have a small collection, of which this drachm is one. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1542494[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>AR drachm Sinope. 425-410 BC. Obv. Head of sea-eagle left; below, dolphin to left; test cut in the eagle’s beak. Rev. Quadripartite incuse square with two opposing quarters filled; Θ. 14-15 mm, 5.86 gr. Hoover 388. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a beautiful, scarce and not too small coin from the very early days of Sinope. What I also like is that the head of the bald eagle more or less coincides with the shape of the coin, even the notch is in place of the beak. This is how it becomes a sculpture![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
