<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 4540031, member: 96635&quot;]Thank you. Coins from Crete are indeed very interesting, the history as well. I look forward seeing your first coin!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The region of Chania and Rethymnon are the most beautiful of the Island, a lot more green as well. I have probably went 30 times to Crete already, it&#039;s lovely.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Great coins [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER], I was looking forwards seeing your beautiful coins already. I still need to get a nice stater and a coin with the labyrinth, I hope to get them one day.</p><p>And a very nice little bronze! The boar head is one of the sharpest I have seen on this issue.</p><p>I have a coin from Lyttos as well with an eagle, also from the time period of 250 BC (the coin almost reminds me of the Ptolemaic coins). There is supposed to be a little boar head on the right, you can barely see it.</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/xfOD05T.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Crete, Lyttos.
