[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 5236562, member: 91461"]Funny enough, I'm fairly familiar with tiny archaic lesbians: [ATTACH=full]1217463[/ATTACH] Lesbos. Uncertain mint circa 500-450 BC. Obol BI 8mm., 0,89g. Confronted boars' heads / Quadripartite incuse square. very fine Klein 348 [ATTACH=full]1217464[/ATTACH] LESBOS. Uncertain. BI 1/36 Stater (Circa 500-450 BC). Obv: Two eyes or grain ears (shields??) Rev: Quadripartite incuse square (swastika-shaped). SNG Copenhagen 292; HGC 6, 1074. Condition: very fine. Weight: 0.26 g. Diameter: 3 mm. Agreed about it not being the African head. And though that reverse has the closest to the ace of spades/arrow look of mine, I hold the coin at every angle and don't think it's a boar smashing against a shield nor confronting heads.[/QUOTE]
